A NEW food delivery app featuring deliveries for local restaurants to residents of Worcester is coming.

Woo Eats is the new food delivery app being teased across social media platforms - and it is set to take on names like Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

Hungry customers will be able to order food for delivery from 'exclusive' city restaurants.

The business is owned and operated by Jabba Riaz, who also serves as a Worcester City Councillor and is a former Mayor of Worcester.

Although a launch date has yet to be confirmed, it is expected that Woo Eats will launch in October.

Woo Eats says its business ethos is to support and invest in Worcester.

This message is displayed on social media and the sentiment was echoed by Cllr Riaz.

He said: "I am a local guy who has experience in the food industry. I love Worcester, I love helping businesses and I have the experience to be able to do this.

"There is no local food ordering service in Worcester and the fees that local businesses are being charged by a lot of the bigger operators are quite significant.

"Woo Eats is a way for businesses to keep money in their pockets and reinvest it back in their business, and for consumers to have access to a variety of exclusive restaurants."

The logo of Woo Eats features three pears, which is synonymous with Worcester.

Businesses such as Altaf's Grill House, Anaz Balti, Billz Grillz, Mother Hubbards and Munchies have all already been confirmed to be coming to the app.

Mr Riaz said that Woo Eats will also offer business owners a more personal approach than the larger providers.

He said "We already have a lot of restaurants signing up. This will be a better service than the bigger providers offer as the business owners can invest in a local marketing campaign, and receive one-on-one service from us as we are based in Worcester ourselves.

"I care about Worcester and I really care about local businesses. This is a no-brainer for me, it allows me to work with local businesses, maintain relationships and improve the businesses for the owners and the Worcester people that use them."

Mr Riaz also plans to reinvest money into local charities that will be selected by Woo Eats users.

He said: "When we are established, it is also our goal to start a competition where local people can name their favourite charity that we can donate to as well."
