F&B firms welcome delivery cost offsets, but seek more substantial rental, labour support
Add BT as a preferred source
As they grapple with a ban on dining-in for the second time in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, food and beverage (F&B) firms in Singapore have welcomed the latest round of subsidies and rebates being offered to offset their delivery costs.
However, they flagged the need for more substantial help with rental and labour costs, similar to the support given the last time dining-in was suspended during last year's circuit breaker.
Enterprise Singapore (ESG) announced on Sunday that it is reinstating the Food Delivery Booster Package from May 16 to June 13. The package funds 5 percentage points of the commission cost charged by Deliveroo, foodpanda and GrabFood, as well as 20 per cent of delivery costs for food delivery orders made through third-party logistics partners Lalamove, Zeek Logistics and Pickupp.
