tDine was introduced as a win-win situation to help participating restaurants recover from a decline in dine-in customers due to the Covid pandemic, while doubling down on affordability for consumers - and complements talabat’s overall priority towards the F&B industry, the statement noted.
Additionally, while helping the restaurant ecosystem resume operations after Covid-19 lockdowns, talabat introduced takeaway as a tDine feature during strict restrictions on dining out so that restaurants could continue operating and serving customers.
With over 260 restaurants signed up and more than 10,000 customers enrolled to date, tDine is on its way to becoming one of the top dining-out membership platforms in Qatar, partnering with various key restaurants such as Paper Moon, Carluccio's, Cucina, Outback Steakhouse, Reem Al Bawadi and Wendy's.
Francisco Miguel de Sousa, managing director of talabat Qatar, strongly believes that tDine supports talabat’s restaurant partners and helps them continue serving their customers.
“tDine is part of our continued push to assist the recovery of the F&B sector. Through feedback received from our restaurant partners during the ongoing pandemic, dine-in solutions and greater access to cashflow were the top priority. Of course, we listened.
"tDine provides a dine-in solution wherein customers can receive greater affordability at restaurants through either a buy-one-get-one-free scenario, or a flat percentage off, while restaurants get that much needed footfall through the door.
"Earlier this year, we also increased our payment cycles to our partners to three days - rather than 15 or 30 days - and we are the only app that offers this benefit. This has greatly aided their cashflow, allowing them to have cash on hand to stimulate their growth.
"We are truly proud to see how these initiatives have contributed to both our restaurant partners’ successes and our greater affordability for our customers."
tDine is available on the talabat platform with a free trial of three months, followed by a six-month membership for QR99.
Consumers can subscribe to tDine through talabat by downloading the talabat app on iOS App Store or Google Play.
