According to a press release, the first GrabKitchen, which is located in West Jakarta, managed to cut down on delivery times by up to 20 percent and increase the vendors’ income.
With regards to the new GrabKitchens, the newly opened spaces feature 11 popular eateries, including Kebab Monster, Baso Aci Juara, Fish Streat, Haus and Bakmi Setiabudi.
To identify potential locations and vendors, GrabFood tech and operation teams are said to have conducted an in-depth analysis about users' travel and dining patterns.
Grab Indonesia president Ridzki Kramadibrata said GrabKitchen would help make vendors more successful.
“Our job does not stop there. We will use the data to help the vendors optimize their businesses and improve their income stream,” added Ridzki. (jes/wng)
