In order to support small and independent businesses to sustain during this challenging time while still providing budget conscious customers the convenience of on-demand food delivery, Grab is introducing new updates to its food delivery service to help Malaysians save more while growing the demand for small and independent businesses on GrabFood.
1. Delivery fees for nearby favourites now from as low as RM2
GrabFood is updating its delivery fee structure to provide users with greater value for their orders. Therefore, delivery fees for your favourite eats will now be as low as RM2 for selected restaurants less than 1km away. Specifically, for cities outside Klang Valley, the RM2 delivery fee will apply to selected restaurants less than 2.5km away. This is also aimed at encouraging more orders for smaller and independent restaurants, thus helping them grow and sustain through this period.
As delivery fees go directly to Grab’s delivery-partners, to ensure they are fairly compensated, Grab will be subsidising the delivery fees which are lower than RM5. Hence, this will not affect their income but will help to grow orders which will also benefit delivery-partners’ earnings.
2. Better savings with GrabFood Signatures Value Packages
Grab is introducing the GrabFood Signatures Value Packages where customers can save up to RM50 on each order from their favourite GrabFood Signatures restaurants, such as Texas Chicken, Secret Recipe, KyoChon, and many more. This in turn will help grow the demand for these restaurants while also ensuring the service remains affordable for users.
The discount vouchers can be used for over 1,000 restaurant-partners nationwidewith no minimum spend required and comes in 3 packages to suit every customers’ lifestyle and budget:
Here’s a guide on how to purchase and use the GrabFood Signatures Value Packages:

3. Free deliveries category on GrabFood
GrabFood also recently introduced a new ‘free deliveries’ category on the platform to provide customers who are looking for budget friendly options. This also provides restaurant-partners an avenue to boost their visibility and awareness across the Grab platform. Moving forward, Grab will be making efforts to include additional restaurants who would like to participate to offer customers a wider variety of favourites.
As the economy reopens, Grab has made various efforts to digitalise micro, small and medium enterprises on the Grab platform to adapt to the new normal. This includes partnering with the government to offer new merchants on the platform RM2,000 worth of bonuses. Continuing from this, these additional efforts will also help businesses to sustain by growing the demand and cultivating a convenient and affordable platform for Malaysians.
