Singapore, 28 May 2018 – Grab today launched an islandwide beta of GrabFood in Singapore, and unveiled its vision of an everyday app for Southeast Asian consumers’ most essential daily services: transport, food, delivery, and payments. This move enables Grab to bring more Southeast Asians online, providing consumers, driver-partners, delivery-partners, and merchant-partners with better convenience for everyday services and more income opportunities. GrabFood will be available in six Southeast Asian countries within this quarter, including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.
When Grab crossed the milestone of 1 billion rides across Southeast Asia in October last year, Grab surveyed consumers in the region to find out what people in Southeast Asia envision Grab to be like in ten years’ time – majority of the 500 consumers who responded wished for a one-stop, everyday app that complements their daily lives. To help Southeast Asians see into this future of a smart city with Grab as an enabler, the company released a video today showcasing how Grab is building an interconnected ecosystem of consumer services to make the everyday lives of people easier.
