GrabFood for One: Affordable meal options for solo dining

GrabFood for One is already available across six markets including Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. 

Affordability and convenience 

We began working on GrabFood for One because we realised that it’s challenging for a single person to order in, particularly when it comes to hitting the minimum order value. Furthermore, many Southeast Asian cuisines are traditionally designed for sharing—meals are typically served family-style, offering a variety of dishes meant to be enjoyed collectively. 

As a result, ordering food alone can wind up being a difficult and unaffordable experience, given the limited options suitable for solo dining. 

To guarantee that solo diners have access to a diverse range of food delivery choices, we’ve worked closely with our merchant-partners to curate meals specifically for individual eaters—offering dishes that are both budget-friendly and economically sustainable for our merchants. 

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

A win-win for everyone 

Much like our Saver delivery option, 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’s route. In exchange, consumers get to enjoy lower delivery fees. 

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. 

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