Manila, Philippines, 01 August 2019, — GrabFood, the number one online food delivery platform in the Philippines for the super app Grab, announced its 24/7 operations today, an upgrade to its leading food delivery service powered by over 1000 quick service restaurant-partners operating around the clock in Metro Manila and Cebu. 

Hunger is closely associated with scholarly articles* and research with lower productivity and irritability, leading to people coining the term “hangry,” which pertains to the feeling of anger due to hunger. 

With the busy and agile lifestyle of Filipinos, today, more than ever, they demand better and more convenient ways to ease their hunger. At any time of the day — whether it’s early in the morning, mid-afternoon, or at the unholy hours of the night — hunger may strike anyone, anywhere. Hunger can happen to parents juggling work and childcare, to an office employee stuck in an early morning traffic madness, to a teacher running overtime to finish a lesson, to students pulling an all-nighter to finish their thesis, or to a call center agent fulfilling an overnight shift. 

Satisfying hunger, especially during the wee hours, can be a problem due to the lack of options and the hassle of dining out. GrabFood’s data reported a growing demand for late-night food deliveries with 13x increase in orders occurring in the wee hours of the night/morning from March 2019 to present.    

Recognizing the need to beat hunger that slows down productivity of Filipinos at any given time, GrabFood has teamed up with over 1000 restaurant-partners in Metro Manila and Cebu to allow 24/7 delivery service in at least 20 locations including Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Pasig, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Marikina, Muntinlupa, San Juan, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Mandaluyong, Malabon, Pateros, Navotas, Taguig, Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue. 

“With the rapidly growing hectic lifestyle, Filipinos now demand more convenient ways of addressing their daily needs.. We at GrabFood recognize the need to empower Filipinos to beat hunger anytime. Today, students stuck working on a project at school, professionals slugging it through a working lunch, even parents tending to their children can now satisfy their hunger 24/7 via GrabFood,” GrabFood Head EJ dela Vega said. 

With the upgraded food delivery service, Filipinos can now enjoy their favorite chicken from McDonald’s, KFC, BonChon, and Bully Buffalo Wing Bar; milk tea and beverage fix from Chatime,  Jamba Juice, and Happy Lemon; top meals from Burger King, Pizza Hut, Mister Kabab and Ersao; and many others via GrabFood 24/7!

The voucher will be automatically pushed out into the members’ “My Rewards” wallet once a GrabFood user completes the required number of stamps per merchant.
