  • Integrated digital supply model linking retail, hospitality and consumers

Through its partnership with Abdullah Al Othaim Markets, HungerStation is enabling a new model of digital supply.

As Saudi Arabia’s hospitality sector continues to grow, businesses face increasing pressure to access reliable supply, respond to demand quickly and operate efficiently across multiple channels. Traditional supply models can be fragmented, limiting the ability of restaurants, hotels and cafes to scale and adapt.

HungerStation is helping to address this by building more integrated, platform-enabled supply systems. Through an extended strategic partnership with Abdullah Al Othaim Markets, one of the Kingdom’s largest national retailers, the company is connecting supply and demand across a unified digital ecosystem.

The partnership combines Al Othaim’s extensive retail network, spanning more than 400 branches across 100+ cities, with HungerStation’s technical and operational infrastructure. Together, this creates a new route for goods to move efficiently across the value chain, supporting both hospitality businesses and individual consumers.

At the core of the collaboration is deep operational integration. Orders placed through digital channels are managed end-to-end through dedicated teams responsible for receipt, preparation, shipping and delivery. This ensures a seamless and reliable experience, while enabling partners to respond more effectively to real-time demand.

This model goes beyond traditional retail partnerships. By embedding logistics, technology and supply into a single system, HungerStation is enabling partners to expand their reach, improve responsiveness and participate more fully in a digitally driven economy.

"This partnership reflects our ambition to build advanced operating models that connect national retail networks with growing demand, improving efficiency and customer experience across the Kingdom."

Ali Aldamanhori, CEO, HungerStation

The impact extends across the broader ecosystem. By improving access to supply, the partnership supports business growth, strengthens operational resilience and enables more efficient distribution of goods across cities. This contributes to increased commercial activity across partners, suppliers and local markets.

As part of Delivery Hero’s wider ecosystem, initiatives like this demonstrate how platforms can act as economic amplifiers. Not only facilitating transactions but enabling new commercial models that drive value across entire sectors.
