We are living in an ever-changing environment. COVID-19 is not settling down, and we have to be prepared for CMCO and stricter SOPs.
In order for your business to survive and thrive, we need to be able to adapt to changes quickly. One of the changes that has been crucial to many business owners is shifting their focus to the online world. At GrabFood, we are constantly working to find new ways you can grow your business with us.
In the past few months, you’ve played a part in boosting Malaysia’s online shopping economy, and learned some helpful tips on growing in the new normal. Here are some of the highlights.
Online shopping is bigger than ever.
Many things have relaxed since we moved into the RMCO – and with some of us still in CMCO, it seems like ordering more food deliveries is now part of the new normal. People are now used to spending more time at home, and have grown to love the choice and convenience that food delivery services can offer them. At the same time, delivery allows them to skip social-distancing lines, and get their favourite meals safely without worrying about new SOPs.
This may be why GrabFood has grown significantly, especially in August and September, where we took part in the government’s Shop Malaysia Online campaign.
Thanks to your dedication to serving customers safely, we have seen a growth of more than 30% in deliveries and eaters since the MCO!
