AIRASIA'S new food delivery service in Singapore will charge merchants S$3 to S$5 per order on flat-rate plans, instead of the percentage-based commissions typically charged by market players, The Business Times (BT) has learnt.

Commission packages leaked ahead of the March 2 launch show that airasia food, the name of the service, will sell merchants delivery credits in the form of three plans - basic, standard and advanced.

The basic plan is S$100 for 20 orders, which works out to S$5 per order. It includes transaction and marketing fees. The credits are valid for a month.
