Doha: A big rise in coffee deliveries was found among Qatar residents this year, the region’s leading food and grocery delivery app, talabat, has said in its compilation of the list of some of its Qatar-based customers’ best, weirdest, and wonderful ordering habits in 2020.
In a statement, talabat said the huge rise in coffee deliveries among its Qatar-based customers, even during the lockdown, indicates the residents’ unbreakable passion for coffee.
“It seemed that amongst the many changes we’ve seen in our day-to-day lives this year, coffee continued to be a part of our daily lives, even during lockdown. With most significant increase in orders from cafes between the start of the year and now, Qatar-based customers stood out as big fans of caffeine amongst other markets in the region,” talabat said.
It added that McDonald’s, which is well-loved in Qatar, also had its McChicken Meal landing on the number one spot list of the most popular food in Qatar, while the Spicy McChicken came close behind. In fact, chicken-based meals were a constant theme throughout favourite lockdown meals.
talabat added that Aseer Time’s ‘The Legend’ came out on top of the list as the most favourite milkshake in Qatar, with more orders than the second placed milkshake flavour.
Aseer Time’s milkshakes had a virtual mortgage over the top milkshake flavours in Qatar, taking out six out of the top ten. Cerelac, Fashkal Bobo, Oreo, Kinder and Lotus round up Aseer Time’s other flavours in the top ten.
“From the heartwarming files, late night ordering shows Qatar’s true generosity. Generally when customers order late night, desserts, treats, and chicken nuggets come to the front of mind. What isn’t particularly associated with late night orders, definitely on a food delivery app, is charity donations.
“This year’s biggest late night order is truly heartwarming. One talabat customer ordered 16 packages of aid for Lebanon - ranging from food, medical, and shelter/home restoration. In fact, talabat presented their customers the opportunity to support a range of causes this year through the app, and the response has been phenomenal,” talabat added.
