Press release:

Taker announces its official acquisition of Brisk Delivery, stating that the company has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taker while preserving its brand. This comes as a step to further improve, expand and strengthen TakerGo; an innovative delivery solution that connects restaurants to leading delivery services providers in KSA. TakerGo enables restaurants of all sizes, with and without delivery fleets to provide and increase the efficiency of their delivery services.

Recognising the value of providing sustainable solutions to empower the digital transformation for restaurants, Taker formalized incorporating Brisk assets and services into TakerGo service. Furthermore, this acquisition comes as a result of the rapidly growing demand for TakerGo services, having achieved exceptional results for many restaurants allowing them to increase their delivery volumes and expand into new geographic markets.

Moving forward, Taker stated that the key driver for the acquisition of Brisk was to increase the range of services and features offered by TakerGo in order to improve the service to cater to all restaurant needs. As the two companies share a commitment to their clients and an urgency to deliver value and enable sustainable growth, Taker guarantees better and more advanced services and support to their clients.

TakerGo is empowering restaurants to cope with the rapid changes in the food delivery sector. According to Statista’s online food delivery report, by 2023, the global online food delivery sector is expected to reach USD 154B. On The other hand, the online food ordering rates have increased in KSA to reach SAR 4.5B (USD 1.2B), with an average of 1M meals being delivered on a daily basis.

TakerGo has proven its feasibility in helping restaurants achieve tangible business value by giving them full control over delivery services. Restaurants can choose from several trusted delivery service providers and choose the delivery fees with 0% commissions. They can opt between outsourced, in-house or hybrid logistics and accept high order volumes at rush hours without worrying about the quality of the food delivery service.
