RoundMenu was a UAE-based platform for restaurant discovery, table bookings, and food delivery, operating across 18 cities in MENA.
The founding team saw an opportunity to digitize the outdated coupon and reservations industry in the region, offering restaurants a more dignified and dynamic alternative to group-buying deals.
Their early product focus, cross-platform reach, and growing footprint across MENA positioned them well for consolidation.
In 2018, RoundMenu was acquired by another portfolio company, Careem, and became part of their food delivery arm, Careem NOW.
