With the discontinuation of Zomato's food ordering service in the UAE on November 24, several employees in the company are set to lose their jobs. According to a Zomato representative, the impacted employees will be offered a severance payment, which includes "financial and immigration support and outplacement opportunities, along with covering the cost of healthcare for our people and their families." "As an organisation, we are well-positioned to support our people adequately as they transition in the best way possible for their careers. We truly value the contribution and commitment each one of them has had towards building Zomato's food ordering business," the spokesperson added. Customers wanting to order food using the Zomato app would be diverted to the Talabat app. BKM/ Expat Media
