Market opportunity
Why Sell on HungerStation — the Kingdom’s Delivery Backbone?
Saudi Arabia is the GCC’s largest delivery economy: USD 6.4B food-delivery GMV in 2025 with 99% internet penetration (Ken Research), and a delivery-apps market measured at USD 9.59B in 2026 growing 15.18% CAGR to USD 19.45B by 2031 (Mordor Intelligence). HungerStation sits at the top of it: share estimates put it at 36–39% of the Kingdom’s delivery market, with 65,000+ partner stores and Delivery Hero’s global logistics stack behind it.
Quick commerce is the new battlefield. HungerStation Market’s 20-minute promise, HPlus unlimited-free-delivery subscriptions and HRewards cashback lock in repeat baskets — the same mechanics that make shelf position, availability and promo maths decisive for sellers.
Competition is intense and subsidy-led: Jahez trades order volume blow-for-blow, Keeta entered Jeddah and Makkah with 13,000 restaurants and 15,000+ riders, and Mrsool, ToYou and Ninja fight for niches. That churn means platforms are actively recruiting and promoting partners right now — sellers who arrive with clean CR, ZATCA and SFDA files activate first and capture the promo slots.
Discovery in KSA runs on Arabic search, Snapchat and TikTok — but partner onboarding still runs on documents. That gap (documents + Arabic content + daily portal ops) is exactly what this service closes.
Partner form on partner.hungerstation.com completed and submitted with the full legal set — commercial registration, tax certificate, national ID, delegation, IBAN — then follow-ups and clarifications managed until your store is activated.

Before you apply
HungerStation Business Registration Requirements — KSA
HungerStation verifies every partner against a published document set. Here is what each item needs to say, and what we prepare around it.
Requirement
What you need
What CoTask prepares
Business registration
Valid commercial registration (CR) from the Ministry of Commerce with activity codes covering food service or trading; Articles of Association for LLCs; signatory Saudi national ID or iqama; authorized delegation letter if a third party manages the account.
CR activity check against your menu or range; delegation letter drafted; document naming and expiry audit so verification passes first time.
VAT & tax position
ZATCA VAT registration (15%) where eligible, tax certificate if available, and e-invoicing (Fatoora phase-2) compliant invoice format for settlements.
Menu or SKU list with Arabic descriptions, VAT-inclusive prices, variants and portions; product photos; logo; branch coordinates for each location.
Arabic-first menu engineering and catalogue build, photo spec sheet, geo-tagging of branches, upload in platform format.
Commercial terms
Commission per category and region, settlement cycle, promo and HPlus funding, pickup discount mechanics (e.g. 20% pickup offers), returns and cancellation policy.
Term-sheet review against KSA norms, margin model per menu line or SKU, promo funding plan agreed before activation.
Product compliance
Baladiya (municipality) food licence; SFDA registration for food, pharmacy and health categories; Civil Defense certificate; hygiene and pest-control contracts; halal compliance for meat.
Compliance documents checklist executed per branch; SFDA and Baladiya filing support; pre-submission audit so nothing is pulled after launch.
Fulfilment / service requirements
Prep-time SLAs and order cut-offs, rider handover process, packaging standards, stock depth for Market/grocery partners, pickup counter setup where enabled.
Service-level readiness audit, packaging and handover checklist, replenishment calendar for Market SKUs, escalation matrix.
Bank & payout
Corporate bank IBAN certificate in the company name for vendor payouts.
IBAN verification, payout cycle configuration and monthly settlement reconciliation.
Onboarding note
Partner onboarding depends on business type and region. A Riyadh cloud kitchen, a Jeddah supermarket, an Eastern-Province pharmacy and a Taif florist face different SFDA or Baladiya evidence, different category approvals and different promo norms. We confirm the exact requirements for your business type and region before we submit, and we tell you plainly when a vertical or city is not yet open.

Six levers that grow a HungerStation store
1
Arabic-first search relevance
Titles, categories and synonyms matched to real KSA queries: “برجر”, “شاورما”, “قهوة مختصة”, “تموينات” — not machine-translated menus.
2
Regional award rails
HungerStation surfaces “Best of” vendors by Central, Eastern and Western regions — rating defence and review velocity are how you land on those rails.
3
HPlus & promo maths
Bundle and threshold design that lets you join HPlus free-delivery and HRewards mechanics without silently donating margin.
4
Availability & prep SLA
Out-of-stock and rejected-order hours tracked per branch; prep promises tuned so they hold at Riyadh and Jeddah peaks.
5
VAT-inclusive price architecture
Prices built for 15% VAT and platform fees from day one, so promos never push a line below margin.
6
Region rollout sequencing
Prove margin in Riyadh or Jeddah, clone into Dammam/Khobar and Makkah/Madinah, then secondary cities — one calendar, no rework.
