Let’s just all agree that Egyptians put food above anything else! Our lives revolve around what we eat, whether it’s at home, at the office, family gatherings or with friends. It’s literally all about the food. For God’s sake, we sometimes pick our friends based on similar food preferences. It’s no surprise that a lot of startups focus on food, since that’s exactly what most of the Egyptian market is looking for. However, we sometimes confuse the differences between these startups. Is Ubereats really like Otlob? Is Glovo the new trend? Worry not, I’m here to tell you the exact difference between all three.
OTLOB
Via Otlob
Believe it or not, Otlob was made for introverts that dread going through the typical phone call process and being constantly asked things like: “Tegarab chocolate cake el laziza?” Otlob lets you search for food according to your location first, then allows you to add filters according to the cuisine you’re looking for. Not just that, you no longer have to worry about having ‘faka’ because you can simply use your credit or debt card on the app.
UBEREATS

Ubereats on the other hand, is for those luxurious restaurants that most probably do not deliver to you. So basically, Ubereats is more of an application that connects restaurants and people through their delivery services.
GLOVO

To sort out the confusion, Glovo is not strictly for food, guys! It’s an international service that delivers any product, from the increasing number of stores they collaborate with. They can also deliver personal items to any place or to any one. Basically, if you’re looking for a personal assistant to get you flowers, food, pastries, or groceries, this is the perfect app for you, lazy humans!
