Belgium’s Deliverect Acquires UAE’s ChatFood

Global scale-up Deliverect has acquired UAE-based ChatFood, a leader in social media ordering, order and pay at the table, and loyalty solutions. Deliverect is a Belgium-based platform that integrates and accelerates online orders for restaurants and the acquisition of ChatFood provides a unified solution to enable profitable growth and exceptional experiences, including social, dine-in QR, and direct channel ordering, as well as online food delivery.

ChatFood serves more than 3,000 food service locations relying on their technology. ChatFood co-founders, Benjamin Mouflard and Vini Rodrigues, will remain with Deliverect, leading further growth and expansion.

“We’ve had an opportunity to observe Deliverect’s values and dedication to their customers through our existing integration and long-standing partnership. We recognised that their approach aligned with our own,” Ben Mouflard, CEO and co-founder of ChatFood, tells StartupScene.

Together, Deliverect and ChatFood serve over 43,000 restaurants and food service businesses around the world and power over 300 million orders in 42 markets.

Deliverect will now offer customers a one-stop, best-in-class digital platform that eliminates complexity and drives value for both in-restaurant dining and online delivery experiences. Deliverect Social Media Ordering and Order & Pay will be available globally on a rolling basis over the coming months. This acquisition will benefit the food service industry by enabling them to better understand, connect with, and engage customers directly, leading to repeat business and an advantage over the competition.
