GrabFood opens first cloud kitchen in Singapore

A self-pick up option for customers would soon be introduced.

GrabFood announced the launch of its first cloud kitchen in Singapore and upcoming unified merchant app.

Located at the Hillview residencial area in Bukit Batok, the food delivery platform’s cloud kitchen is expected to house ten restaurant brands, offering the app’s most frequently searched food items such as bubble tea, mala and soup, as well as highly-demanded Japanese, Thai and Indian cuisines.

The cloud kitchen will also introduce three new virtual concepts: Lady Boss Mala, Waboru and Tiffin Wala. The location also houses GrabFood’s sixth namesake food hub that offers popular hawker food and beverages from packaged food brands like Tiger and Heineken.

“We hope to bridge cuisine demand and supply gaps, complement and expand the variety of food options at different price points in the area, and offer them conveniently to consumers through on-demand delivery, self-pick up or dine in,” GrabFood Singapore head Dilip Roussenaly said in a statement.

The food delivery brand currently runs 50 cloud kitchens across five Southeast Asian countries.

In 2019, Grab’s food delivery arm has sought a 173% increase in the number of their active users in Asia. It operates in 271 cities across seven Southeast Asian countries.

Meanwhile, GrabFood is slated to launch a new merchant app which would integrate services from Grab Financial Group and GrabAds intended to aid partner businesses to track their performances and operations.

A self-pick up option would soon be introduced to allow customers to order meals in-app before arriving at their choice food outlet.

Moreover, operational efficiency is promised as merchants with their own delivery fleet would soon be allowed to tap into Grab’s customer base through point-of-sale integration.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
