Speaking at the introductory meeting of the “Winning Restaurant Support Check,” project organized by Yemeksepeti via video conference, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said the project would be the lifeblood for restaurants.
Yemeksepeti supports the “We Stand with
SMEs as e-Commerce,” campaign initiated by the Ministry of Trade with the “Winning
Restaurant Support Check” project with the contributions of the Union of
Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB). In the campaign, users will
be able to purchase these checks to use later at their favorite restaurants by
purchasing "Winning Restaurant Support Check"; “Pay 40 - Eat 50,” “Pay
75 –Eat 100” and “Pay 150 – Eat 225.”
TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu
said that the “Winning Restaurant Support Check,” project organized by
Yemeksepeti will be the life water for restaurants, pointing out that
especially small tradesmen are struggling more during this period.
Hisarcıklıoğlu expressed their happiness
in supporting this project as TOBB, said:
“With this campaign, we aim to use
digitalization to give takeaway expenditures during the post-coronavirus
normalization period to our restaurants as working capital today. With this
campaign, we call on our users to 'get your food for tomorrow today.’ Today,
10,000 restaurants, about 70% of which are members of TOBB, will benefit from
this campaign. Our restaurants will be able to access financing between 10,000
and 50,000 liras with this campaign. We believe this campaign will be an
opportunity to both improve cash flow for our restaurants and digitize and grow
faster in the future.
By vitalizing our businesses, even
strengthening them, we need to enter the post-Covid-19 period more preparedly.
For this, we will continue to work with all our strength, to produce projects.”

Nevzat Aydın, during the project presentation video conference, reported that Yemeksepeti
has implemented another campaign to help restaurants continue their work with
the participation of its users in Turkey, which is going through a difficult
process as is the rest of the world.
Aydın said, “With the Winning Restaurant
Support Check, as Yemeksepeti, we provide our users with a product that they
can support their favorite restaurants in their neighborhoods. After going
through this difficult period, it is very important that we support today to
order from the restaurants we always order from. We invite Yemeksepeti users to
support these restaurants today in order to eat their favorite food from their
favorite restaurants tomorrow.”
- 3,000 new jobs by the end of the year
Stating that it is a time to come together
as a country, Aydın said that they support the, “Turkey Will Suffice for Turkey”
campaign as Yemeksepeti.
Aydın said, “Of course we will give the
necessary support to our state and our nation. However, we also need to give
this support to the business life so that when we get through this process, our
economy can rise as soon as possible. As Yemeksepeti, we have provided a myriad
of supports to our business partner restaurants since March. In addition, we
are also working in terms of employment. Even during the difficult time we are
in, we have not given up on this goal and we have hired a thousand people after
March 11th. By the end of the year, we will have provided 3,000 new
jobs.”
