- talabat highlights ordering habits during the summer, with bananas, burgers and coffee being all time favorites!
- The MENA region’s generosity continued throughout the summer – talabat customers donated over $130,000 in a single day throughout the summer season!
As summer has officially ended, talabat, the region’s leading local tech platform, shared a recap of what people loved to order during the summer months. Here’s a fun rundown of the key trends around the region on the talabat app this summer!
Good times and tan lines:
Customers in Oman ordered over 300 sun care products this summer, ensuring that they pay extra attention to their skin while having the ultimate fun in the sun.
Keeping things cool – literally:
There’s no better feeling than indulging in an ice-cold treat during the summer season! Chocolate ice cream reigned supreme on talabat Mart, with customers also keeping cool by ordering ice (yes, plain ice!) over 400 times – talk about icing things up!
Our Moms told us to eat healthy – and now we know the region listens to their mums!
Over the past few months, we’re glad to see people ordering their favorite fruits and vegetables on talabat Mart – with tomatoes, cucumber and onions being the most popular veggies ordered. Additionally, bananas, apples, pears and citrus were the most popular when it came to fruits. (Let’s not get into the tomatoes being fruits vs. vegetables debate!)
The only bad burger is the one you didn’t eat:
While we love to be healthy, numbers don’t lie – in Oman, we also love our burgers, especially during summer! Burgers have been the frontrunner over the past months, with over 500,000 burger orders!
Is ‘too much food’ a myth?:
Meals are more delicious with the right company! One talabat customer believes this to be true by spending almost OMR 200 on food through talabat. If you prefer to cook your own meals while entertaining, talabat Mart has you covered, with our largest summer order at almost 300 OMR.
True regional generosity – we’re humbled that we can facilitate giving back:
The most generous day of summer was officially during Eid Al Adha on Friday July 8th, and on this specific Friday, customers in the region donated almost OMR 50,000 through the talabat app! Speaking of generosity, a caring customer donated almost OMR 400 to a local Omani charity.
Taking all the guesswork out of grocery shopping:
Confused about what to order from talabat Mart? Numbers show that some of the most popular items chosen included mountain dew (the ultimate Omani drink!) as well as bananas and tomatoes (keeping that balance between indulging and eating healthy!). When you can get all, you need on talabat Mart – plus delivery in under 30 minutes, why stress?
Getting your daily coffee fix through whatever beans necessary:
Iced Spanish Lattes were really popular this summer, with over 7,000 ordered across the Sultanate. That is more than what you need to have your own spanish latte frame pool for the summer in your backyard! When it comes down to it, we guess the real question is: ‘To bean, or not to bean?’.
No better breakfast than paratha and karak!
It’s not really a secret that people love paratha and karak for breakfast, after all, it is the perfect duo! Over the summer period, customers ordered paratha and karak more than 5,000 times for breakfast.
Late night snack? Or maybe, a meal.
The Royal Wrap Meal accompanied by a can of Pepsi conquered late night orders, having been ordered over 5,000 times just after midnight. After all, if we’re not meant to have late night snacks, why is there a light in the fridge?
No matter the time or the place, talabat is always there – everyday – to deliver your favorite meals and groceries easily and conveniently, with a push of a button. Additionally, talabat is also proudly utilizing its tech to provide people with easy access to licensed in-app donation solutions for them to give back to communities in need throughout the year.
