After buying its US rival, Uber in Southeast Asia operations, the ride-hailing firm Grab is replacing UberEATS with their very own delivery app — GrabFood.
Grab announced today the beta launch of GrabFood in Singapore and by the end of this year, the company plans to expand its services in five other countries in Southeast Asia which are Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.
GrabFood aims to provide people convenience in food delivery when you place an order with their app, they send it off to the restaurant and assign their deliver-partner to pick up the order and bring it to us.
The GrabFood has no minimum order requirements, you can also split bills via GrabPay Credits.
So when you spent your cash on GrabFood app, you will be rewarded with five GrabRewards points which can be used to redeem any discounts available on the catalog and rides on the ride-hailing platform.
