How distance brought us closer…

Islandwide Delivery didn’t just multiply the choices available to you on GrabFood. Nor did it just keep many of us sane or give us something to look forward to while we were stuck at home during Circuit Breaker. It also helped our delivery and merchant-partners find new ways to reach consumers, despite the restrictions.

By removing delivery boundaries, we bridged the different needs of our community proving that distance, can bring us closer.

COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.

As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.

Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
