Tough Times Build Greater Online Superheroes

Our superheros have been working day and night to help their clients and communities at large to overcome those difficult times. Together, we will emerge stronger than ever.

OpenSooq

  • Stayhome.jo: In cooperation with the Jordanian Government, OpenSooq.com has developed and launched stayhome.jo; a platform connecting businesses and citizens with government authorities to issue permits that will allow them to move around and conduct essential tasks.
  • Advertisers: To deliver on its mission of helping people buy and sell with ease, OpenSooq has been offering their advertisers and clients, who have prepaid for services, extensions and added value on their purchases when the uncertainty of COVID-19 subsides.

ReserveOut

  • Restaurants: ReserveOut has rolled out immediate initiatives to support its current restaurant base in these difficult times. These include waiving software licensing fees for restaurants over the next 3 months, rolling out a gift card solution for diners to purchase at a discount today and redeem at full price when restaurants reopen, and launching a “Support your Local Restaurant" campaign for diners to support their favorite dining spots by ordering food and buying gift cards.
