deliverect rolls out self-order kiosks across mena

Deliverect has launched its self-service ordering kiosks in the Middle East and North Africa, extending its footprint in a region where an expanding food and beverage sector means that restaurants are under pressure to move faster with fewer staff.

The product, Deliverect Kiosk, allows customers to browse menus, place orders and pay directly at in-store screens, without any staff involvement. For operators, the pitch is straightforward: shorter queues, faster throughput and higher average spend.

Deliverect says the kiosk is tightly integrated into its broader ordering platform, syncing menus and availability across locations in real time. Built-in upselling and bundling features are designed to nudge customers toward higher-value baskets without adding friction at the counter.

Data from Europe shows the potential gains that the system can achieve: Restaurants using its kiosks in Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and the UK have cut average order times by 17%. Half of all kiosk orders included an upsell, while ticket sizes were around 30% higher than traditional ordering flows, according to the company.

Naji Haddad, Vice President of EMEA at Deliverect, said the regional launch reflects growing demand for automation among restaurant operators. “The launch of Deliverect Kiosk represents another important milestone for the company, where restaurants can reap the benefits and accelerate their business revenues even more while also enhancing customer experiences,” he said.

Haddad also pointed to the system’s adoption by international brands as a signal of its maturity. “Not only is Deliverect Kiosk a catalyst when it comes to boosting productivity and sales, but this user-friendly innovative tech system is widely used by some of the popular brands in the world today,” the VP added.

The kiosks are offered in multiple formats, including floor-standing, wall-mounted and countertop models, making them suitable for quick-service, counter-service and dine-in restaurants. Stock levels are synchronized with point-of-sale systems so customers only see what is actually available.

As competition intensifies across the region’s dining hubs, tools that increase order speed and spending without adding headcount are becoming less of a nice-to-have. Deliverect is betting that kiosks will be part of that shift.

By 2030, etisalat group plans to lift its international connectivity capacity to more than 500 terabits per second (Tbps), more than 25 times the 20 Tbps it has today. The group presented the expansion as preparation for rising AI demand and an important move for the UAE’s digital sovereignty.

His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, witnessed the launch of the project, which covers the UAE and international markets. Sheikh Mansour is also Chairman of the Emirates Investment Authority, etisalat group’s main shareholder.

He emphasized the role of coordinated national efforts in advancing the UAE’s AI and digital economy ambitions. “AI is a central pillar in our development journey moving forward,” he said, adding that developing the country’s digital capabilities would empower every institution, public and private, to build and innovate with AI “at the scale the coming decade will demand”.

“This project reflects our conviction that the UAE should not simply adopt AI, but govern it and build with it,” said H.E Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of etisalat group. “That requires digital infrastructure at a scale that would prepare us for the future”. He cast greater international connectivity as a strategic answer to the challenges of processing and moving data globally.

Beyond raw bandwidth, the expansion will introduce new connectivity routes intended to improve reliability and efficiency, and Alzaabi tied them directly to the sovereignty goal. “Delivered through diversified routes and low-latency design, the project is set to keep the country’s connection to the global digital economy fast, direct and resilient, while ensuring the UAE’s digital sovereignty,” he said.

He also linked the plan to the group’s 50-year commitment to building infrastructure for the nation. The announcement didn’t mention what the expansion will cost. Nor did it name the new routes or say who will build them, the details that would show what digital sovereignty means in practice.
