Mawlid is a significant event in the Islamic calendar. Celebrated by millions worldwide, it’s a season when the air is thick with tradition, the streets are lit with joy, and the scent of festive foods wafts through neighbourhoods. And while families come together in celebration, Just Eat couriers play a vital role in bringing the feast to them.

On the Just Eat Network, you know that tradition, like flavour, is something that’s deeply rooted. And just as the perfect dish is a blend of ingredients, a successful delivery during Mawlid is a mix of understanding the cultural significance and having the right insights. That’s where we step in.

Insights for Couriers on the Go:

• Anticipate the Demand: Just Eat’s data from past years shows an increase in certain traditional dishes during Mawlid, such as sweet dishes like Baklava and savoury dishes like Tharid. Take some time to research local restaurants or eateries that offer these dishes, as these places are likely to experience higher volumes of orders during the Mawlid celebration.

• Stay Updated on Route Changes: Mawlid can sometimes see processions, events, and community gatherings, which might affect your usual routes so keep an eye out for traffic congestion or potentially even road closures. 

But it’s not just about being efficient; it’s also about experiencing the essence of Mawlid. As you weave through streets, delivering orders, you’re part of an age-old tradition. It’s a unique position to be in, witnessing the unity, the spirit, and the flavours of the celebration up close.

Here’s Your Inside Track:

• Connect with Customers: A simple wish or pleasant greeting can go a long way during Mawlid. It not only enhances the delivery experience but also strengthens the bond with the Just Eat community.
• Stay Safe: The streets can be busier during this time. It’s crucial to ensure your own safety, not just for yourself but for the food you’re delivering. Remember, a well-delivered meal is as much a delight as its taste.

At Just Eat, we believe in the power of mutual understanding. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and insights you need, so you not only deliver but thrive. As the Mawlid season approaches, remember we’re here to help you through, giving you the insights to make informed decisions that benefit your business on the Just Eat Network.

In the end, the flavour of tradition is best savoured when shared. And with every order you deliver, you’re not just transporting a meal but also sharing the spirit of our Just Eat Network community. Let’s make this season memorable together!
