GrabFood bent on serving hawkers despite major barriers

Singapore

HAVING hawkers on a delivery platform might not appear to make economic sense, but GrabFood Singapore is determined not to leave the segment out. It plans to help hawkers digitalise their operations and to make sure users still have access to a "great variety of affordable food options" online.

The Covid-19 partial lockdown in Singapore has drawn attention to the unique challenge of serving hawkers, who have a revered place in the local food scene.
