GRAB'S rapidly-growing food delivery vertical could present juicier margins than its ride-hailing business, although competitive risks remain, industry watchers told The Business Times.
On Tuesday, Grab announced that GrabFood, presently a standalone app in Singapore, will be moved onto the main Grab app. An islandwide beta trial will begin in May. BT had first reported on the planned integration in February.
