KeetaWe help people eat better, live better

Keeta is Meituan's international food delivery brand, not an independent startup. Launched in Dubai in September 2025 and completed nationwide UAE rollout across all 7 emirates by December 2025. Third MENA market after Qatar and Kuwait.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Keeta is not a startup and should not be evaluated as one. It is Meituan's international beachhead — a strategic deployment backed by one of China's most sophisticated technology operations, processing over 40 million food delivery orders per day domestically.

For the UAE's existing delivery ecosystem — Talabat, Deliveroo, Noon Food — Keeta represents an existential competitive shift. Meituan can afford to operate at a loss for years, deploy AI logistics that no regional player can match, and leverage pricing strategies that would bankrupt a venture-backed competitor. Watch how restaurants respond — multi-homing is standard, but Keeta's commission structures will determine whether it can shift exclusive supply.
