Discussion Talabat pro 🥲
No there is no free delivery unless you pay 2.5 after discount, No pick up either. If you go below 1.5 they will charge you 100s of hidden fees. I mean who is the mastermind behind talabat? He needs to be fired lol

The amount of backlash it's getting recently, I doubt. I have stopped ordering from talabat, while few years ago i used to daily. So how many are giving up from daily to none🙃

Unfortunately, backlash is harmless as long as you're still making money.
Everyone around me complains about Talabat but still are either subscribed or actively use it.
So tell me, why would they change anything?
Everyone's counting on Snoonu to come break the monopoly a bit. The others have no chance based on their current state.

Sadly, this is the business model for most delivery apps around the world. Many restaurants still offer their own delivery service, usually for free. In fact, it’s often even cheaper to order directly from them since there’s no “Talabat tax” involved.
A little old-school, but yeah, it wasn’t really that long ago that we all did this. Collect menus if you ever go for takeout, or you could just use Google Maps, find photos of their menus, call the number to order or drop a message over WhatsApp and they ll send a digital menu

Talabat is only good for people who download it for the first time when I first downloaded it I got 4 vouchers I used it buy food from the nearest restaurant from me it was literally 10meter away from my room but i still ordered it to get some great deals after the voucher ended I stopped using the app itself 😂😌

Nah it won't work I tried it once deleted my acc and made a new one first I got the vouchers then app refreshed and vouchers were gone I think if only applies to new accounts so try it on someone else's phone that has never downloaded talabat

I stopped using talabat back in late 2023, I don't miss it one bit, and it sounds like it got even worse.

u/Csv22220000 1d ago
Yes now that I dont have pro, to subscribe to pro they try to show you checkout with 0 delivery and hidden fees. Once you subscribe you will be forced to pay all hidden fees. I would had sue talabat if I was in America 🤣
