Deliveroo, a famous food delivery company in Qatar, has decided to close its operations. DoorDash, which is now the parent company of Deliveroo, has announced that its services will not be available in Qatar from 4 March 2026. This company was working on vehicles since last ten years, but now after seeing the market situation, they have decided to exit the vehicle.

Why did DoorDash take this decision?
Miki Kuusi, head of DoorDash International, said that taking this decision was not easy for him. He said that this step has been taken after fully reviewing the Qatar market. The company felt that it was difficult to expand the vehicle business in a sustainable manner.
DoorDash last year bought Deliveroo in 2025. Talking about this decision, the company made it clear that their priority right now is to make the transition smooth. Having this band will not have any major impact on the financial condition of the company, but the management thinks it is better to take this step while keeping in mind.
What impact will it have on employees and riders?
The direct impact of this decision will fall on the people working here. According to reports:
There is a possibility that about 85 jobs will be affected by the merger between Qatar and Singapore. The company has said that it will provide all possible support to its riders, merchants and employees so that they do not face much trouble due to this change. Other companies like Talabat are quite powerful in Qatar now, so people will not pay much attention to ordering food.
The food delivery market in Qatar is growing rapidly, but the competition is also very high. Deliveroo had planned to enter the vehicle in 2022, but has decided to close down its operations a year later.
