As expected that Grabfood will slowly slowly increase their fees to (make their platform) better.
At this period where a lot people are staying home and ordering food online.
Grabfood introduce minimum basket value of $8 (14 March 10am) and platform fees of 20¢ on 27 March.
Minimum $8
So your minimum order needs to be $8. If not they auto add for you.
So you cannot order 1 bubble Tea at $5 and just pay for the delivery fees. You need to top up the differences to $8.
So now $8 is the magic number because Grabfood charge merchant around 30%. And the rider gets paid like $2-$5 depending if peak period anot.
So break-even is $8.
No more $9.90 FoodPass
And you also realise that the foodpass plan sip sip disappear if you are still hesitating to subscribe. The $9.90 monthly with 50 delivery credits.
So time to dabao your own food if you don’t wanna pay for these fees.
But if you want convenience, you can carry on.
