About Talabat in Kuwait

Talabat was founded in Kuwait in 2004 as an online food ordering service. It later became part of the German group Delivery Hero, moved its headquarters to Dubai and listed on the Dubai Financial Market in 2024. Today it covers food, groceries through Talabat Mart, pharmacy items and more across several Gulf and Middle East countries.

Kuwait remains one of Talabat’s core markets, and order volumes are high throughout the year – especially in summer evenings, Ramadan nights and weekends. That demand keeps riders and Talabat Mart pickers in constant need.

Rider income is “earnings”, not a fixed salary. Many delivery companies pay a basic amount plus per-order payments, distance pay and peak-hour incentives, while others pay mostly per order. Your net income also depends on who pays for fuel, phone data, bike maintenance and accommodation. These are indicative ranges, not official Talabat figures. Rupee values use about ₹285 per KWD.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes, most delivery riders in Kuwait are expatriates from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Egypt. But Kuwait’s rules are strict: since 2022 authorities have required a delivery driver’s residency to be tied to the company they deliver for, along with a health certificate, company uniform and branded vehicle. Freelancing on another sponsor’s visa is not allowed and can lead to legal action.

So a job offer is not a visa. Your work permit and residence visa must be sponsored by the delivery company that employs you. Never assume sponsorship, and never accept an offer to “work on your existing visa” for a different company.

You will also need a valid Kuwaiti driving licence for a motorcycle or car. Kuwait has detailed conditions for expatriate licences, so confirm with the delivery company how they handle this before you sign.
