Deliveroo has announced its decision to exit Qatar, and will begin an orderly wind-down process. The decision follows a review of country-specific conditions, and our focus on investing where we see the clearest path to sustainable scale and long-term leadership. Deliveroo will work closely with local teams to support customers, partners and riders through the transition. The platform will remain live until 4 March 2026.
Miki Kuusi, Head of DoorDash International, CEO of Deliveroo & Co-founder of Wolt said: “We want to sincerely thank our employees, customers, merchants and riders who have been part of Deliveroo’s journey in Qatar.
Supporting our teams and partners through this change is our priority. This is a tough decision but by focusing our efforts on the countries where we see the strongest opportunity, we can continue to invest for the long term and deliver lasting value for merchants, customers and riders globally.”
The decision to exit Qatar was based on an assessment of where Deliveroo can offer the best product and build a long-term business. Exiting Qatar is a country-specific decision, and the company intends to continue its investment into growth across its international geographies, including United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
These changes are part of a broader review of the company’s international portfolio. More information is available in a separate release https://ir.doordash.com/news/news-details/2026/DoorDash-to-Wind-Down-Deliveroo-and-Wolt-Operations-in-Four-Countries/default.aspx
