At a glance:<\/b> GrabFood for One is a dining category on GrabFood designed for those who order alone. It features curated single-portion meals, a fixed low delivery fee, and zero small order fees, making food delivery affordable when eating alone.<\/span><\/p>

Why Grab built a delivery solution specifically for solo diners<\/b><\/h5>

Dining alone is a standard daily experience for millions of office workers, students, and busy individuals across Southeast Asia. However, ordering food delivery for just one person has historically felt inefficient and expensive. Single diners frequently encounter two major pain points:<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>

  1. Small Order Fees: Paying extra penalties because a single meal total falls below the restaurant\u2019s minimum order threshold.<\/span><\/li>
  2. High Delivery Charges: Paying delivery fees that rival or exceed the cost of the meal itself.<\/span>

    <\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    To eliminate these barriers, Grab introduced GrabFood for One, a dedicated feature designed to make solo ordering as affordable and seamless as eating out locally.<\/span><\/p>

    How GrabFood for One works: Affordable, curated, and batched<\/b><\/h5>

    GrabFood for One brings together smart logistics and curated menu design to deliver unbeatable value for individual orders.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    1. Zero small order fees<\/b><\/h5>

    With standard food delivery, ordering an item below a merchant’s minimum spend triggers a small order fee surcharge. On GrabFood for One, all listed meals automatically waive the Small Order Fee, so you only pay for what you actually eat.<\/span><\/p>

    2. Fixed, low delivery fees<\/b><\/h5>

    GrabFood for One pairs nearby solo meal options with a predictable, low flat-rate delivery fee. This ensures that delivery charges remain proportional to the price of a single meal.<\/span><\/p>

    3. Curated single-portion combos<\/b><\/h5>

    Participating restaurants design all-in-one meal sets specifically tailored for individual appetites, such as a main dish, side, and drink bundled together into a complete single serving.<\/span><\/p>

    4. Smart route batching<\/b><\/h5>

    Much like our <\/span>Saver delivery option<\/span><\/a>, people who select the GrabFood for One option allow for an extended food delivery time as their orders get batched together with others on a delivery-partner\u2019s route. In exchange, consumers get to enjoy lower delivery fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    This also ensures that we do not compromise on the earnings of our delivery-partners with the lower fees. With our batching capabilities, delivery-partners will get the opportunity to complete more orders with less time and effort.\u00a0<\/p>

    A win-win for everyone<\/h5>

    To guarantee that solo diners have access to a diverse range of food delivery choices, we\u2019ve worked closely with our merchant-partners to curate meals specifically for individual eaters\u2014offering dishes that are both budget-friendly and economically sustainable for our merchants.\u00a0<\/p>

    In the GrabFood for One section, users can expect an array of balanced and affordable meals from our wide-ranging merchant partners.<\/p>

    Eating alone shouldn’t be a barrier to enjoying the convenience of food delivery affordably, and we’re committed to ensuring it isn’t.<\/p>
