As life in Doha gets busier, with more cars on the roads and fewer parking spaces, doing everyday chores like grocery shopping and laundry can be a headache.
A growing crop of Qatar-based entrepreneurs are trying to ease some of that pain, rolling out new mobile apps to tackle ordering groceries and sending out the dry cleaning.
Among them is eGrab, a new grocery-shopping app nurtured at the Qatar Business Incubation Center and soft-launched on Android and iOS this summer.
The firm has so far signed agreements with two supermarket chains – Quality Hypermarket and Family Food Center – but expects more stores to join in the coming months.
