Enterprise Singapore to assist F&B sector with delivery orders

F&B outlets will no longer be allowed to provide dine-in services.

Enterprise Singapore (ESG) has rolled out a food delivery booster package to fund 5ppt of commission costs from food delivery platforms Deliveroo, foodpanda and GrabFood, according to a press release.

The package was launched as the Ministry of Health (MOH) suspended activities, excluding essential services and related supply chain activities, to minimise the spread of the pandemic. With this, all food and beverage (F&B) establishments can open only for takeaway or delivery from 7 April to 4 May, and no dine-in services are allowed.

As a result, the sales and profitability of the outlets are expected to be affected due to the drop in dine-in sales and the associated costs of using online food delivery platforms.

There will be no cap on the transaction value. To be eligible, businesses must sell food that was prepared on-premise for immediate consumption. This includes smaller establishments like hawker stalls and cafes, to larger outfits such as food caterers and restaurants.

Businesses that are on the three platforms can avail for the package, and no applications are required. The package supports both new entrants and those that are already operating on these platforms.

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.
