Ride-hailing firm Grab Philippines yesterday said it is expanding the operation of its food delivery business to Iloilo City to help promote Iloilo’s culinary tourism.
“As we expand GrabFood’s operations in the Philippines, we recognize that our job doesn’t end after delivering a meal to our consumers. We are inspired by our deeper goal of delivering positive impact into the lives of our partners and the people who take pride in the development of their city,” said EJ Dela Vega, head of GrabFood Philippines.
GrabFood has partnered with the local iconic restaurants and famous chain of establishments in Iloilo including Jo’s Chicken Inato, Lechon House, Loco Local Coffee, Netongs, Lar’s Buko Batchoy Eatery, Kucho, Harry’s Seafood Bistro, Floyd Famous BBQ, JD Burger Project, MYO Cafe and more.
As a welcome treat to the Ilonggos, GrabFood is offering P100 discount for their first 5 orders using the promo code GFILOILO.
In 2015, Grab introduced GrabTaxi in Iloilo City and have since become a reliable transportation option. As an everyday everything app, Grab said it hopes to introduce more daily services to the Ilonggos outside of transport and food delivery.
GrabFood is now in 37 cities in the Philippines and will continue to expand to enable more income-generating opportunities for merchants and delivery-partners, and bring the best of Filipino cuisine to consumers when and where they need it.
According to a Kantar report, in the third quarter of 2019, GrabFood is the leading food delivery platform in the Philippines as 76 percent of Filipino respondents said they prefer GrabFood over other app-based food delivery brands.
As a digital platform connecting millions of consumers and partners, Grab said it is committed to providing inclusive livelihood opportunities for Filipinos all over the Philippines.
