DiDi Food arrives in Santo Domingo with savings of up to 50%

• The app is available in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Costa Rica, Colombia and now the Dominican Republic. The company will invest 28 million Dominican pesos during the launch in promotion and marketing strategies to support registered restaurants.

Santo Domingo, April 2022- DiDi Food, the technology platform that connects restaurants, users and delivery partners to make delivery a satisfying, delicious and affordable mealtime option every day, is now officially available in the Dominican Republic.

App users can now access the menus of their favourite restaurants in Santo Domingo and enjoy promotions and special prices when ordering through the platform, saving up to 50% on selected dishes during the first four weeks of service, and take advantage of promotions at all kinds of restaurants all year round.

DiDi Food is the most affordable option on the Dominican market for ordering food delivery, as it charges users no service fee and has a competitive delivery fee, making it an exceptional opportunity to keep boosting the economy for restaurants and delivery partners on motorbikes and bicycles.

Supporting economic recovery through promotions and initiatives with the restaurant sector is one of the platform’s promises; currently 68% of all restaurants registered in the country belong to the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) segment. DiDi Food is the only app with an ongoing investment programme to generate promotions, helping local businesses position themselves within the app and increase their sales. They will also be able to offer their own promotions whenever they wish, setting them up directly on the platform, and will eventually be able to take part in promotional strategies in partnership with DiDi Pasajero, which has already been used by thousands of users in the country.

“We’re here to transform delivery in the country. We want Dominicans to be able to order from their favourite restaurants at any time on any day. DiDi Food is a technology platform that increases activity in the food service sector, creates flexible opportunities for people to earn extra income, and gives access to an app for food delivery based on a win-win concept,” explains María Pía Lindley, general manager of DiDi Food for Mexico, Colombia, Central America and the Caribbean.

DiDi Food connects users and delivery partners with a large selection of medium and large restaurants, as well as small businesses and start-ups, where users can choose from categories such as Dominican, Italian, Mexican, Asian and fast food, among many others. The app will initially be available in Santo Domingo and, seeking to offer the best experience, will continue extending its reach to other areas of the country.

DiDi Food’s main goal is to become a platform that helps the country’s economic recovery, involving three major groups: restaurants, users and delivery partners, people looking for a way to earn independently with the flexibility and freedom the app allows.

With the launch of its technology services, the company plans to make a direct investment of around 28 million Dominican pesos during its launch in the country, directly in promotions aimed at users and marketing strategies to raise the visibility and profile of restaurants.

The Association of Casual Dining and Quick Service Establishments (ADECOR) is one of the most recent sign-ups to the platform, with more than 25 associated national and international fast food restaurant chains, including well-known brands such as Krispy Kreme, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, Chili’s, Pala Pizza, Subway, Baskin Robbins and Helados Bon.

Restaurants and delivery partners can register with no activation fee, and there is no penalty if they decide to stop using the app. In addition, DiDi Food offers all registered restaurants an adviser who will support them in using the platform’s tools and making the most of all the company’s initiatives to help their business grow.

“I’ve felt very comfortable with the DiDi Food team. They’ve given me excellent support and advice on how to use the app in the best way. I have high expectations for the platform and, God willing, I know my business will grow more,” said Jazmín Corporán Caminero, owner of Jazmín Repostería.

Restaurants interested in registering on the platform can do so at https://www.didi-food.com/es-DO/store. A team is also available for support and advice by email at soporte.tienda@rd.didiglobal.com and by phone on 829 956 8643.

DiDi Food can now be downloaded from the Play Store, App Store and AppGallery.
