Dubai Municipality has recently outlined some guidelines to ensure the safety of food
deliveries, aiming to protect residents' health. While these directives are welcomed by
many, delivery riders, integral to the food delivery ecosystem, have voiced a mix of
support and practical concerns regarding their implementation.
Ahmed, a delivery rider affiliated with a food service provider for the last three years,
welcomed the municipality's efforts to enhance food safety standards. "As delivery
riders, we understand the importance of customers receiving their meals safely and
hygienically. I guess the guidelines are more of a nudge to follow the basic rules," he
said.
