Why Delivery Prices Have Sky Rocketed In Singapore | Singapore Expats | Home Delivery

Published - 17 April 2020, Friday

Expat Choice gets a lot of requests from readers asking where to locate the more affordable places to order home delivery. To answer the question, they are few and far between if you are looking for quality at a lower price.

One of the aims of www.expatchoice.asia is to highlight affordable-quality assured delivery solutions to help you make your dining-in more pocket friendly. Mazzo Bar & Restaurant is one of these affordable, yet high-quality solutions – check them out. Let’s face it, you can drop a cool $60 on a pizza and a dessert with many of the fast food delivery services, so why not get a better bang for your buck, with a healthier, homemade selection from an affordable joint – quite possibly not even on your radar. That’s where Expat Choice comes in.

It is certainly wonderful to see new Facebook private groups like Singapore Restaurant Rescue getting traction giving 60,000+ member options on where to book your next delivery from - although this group have everything, and we mean everything which can become quite a difficult task to decide on what you really want to order for your meal. Often, we find the feedback to be, “choice should be limited and, in a way, curated” says food reporter Sylvia Fernandes, “before the readers are in the mood to select their next dining in journey.” The difference Singapore Restaurant Rescue offers members  is to highlight delivery solutions that are not aligned to the BIG THREE foodpanda, Deliveroo and GrabFood.

The “very high” commission fees charged by food delivery platforms often forcing restaurants to increase their menu pricing, are eating into the already-thin profits of restaurants, said The Restaurant Association of Singapore as it called for these fees to be cut during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the long run.

The Restaurant Association of Singapore (RAS), which has over 450 members, said current commission charges range from 25 to 32 per cent for each order.  Whether it is the circuit breaker period or not, the rates are not sustainable for the businesses given F&B’s razor-thin margins.

In recent years, willingness from consumers to pay for convenience has whetted a growing appetite for meal deliveries in Singapore, spurring the growth of platforms such as foodpanda, GrabFood and Deliveroo.

The newest independent higher-end restaurant delivery solution The Dine In Movement Launches In Singapore is one example of a curated experience, allowing readers to make a delivery decision quickly. All restaurants in this platform offer a wide variety of cuisine although the difference comparing Singapore Restaurant Rescue and the Dine In Movement is all restaurants in the Dine In Movement platform are in the same complementary culinary playing field. Restaurant on the Dine In Movement are typically more expensive than a tyical take away from your local hawker, offering the level of home restaurant dining readers have come to know and love - but now in the comfort of your own home – a dining experience just as you would expect dining at the restaurant – without the service of course – where you are playing approximately $60-$100 a head for a fabulous meal.

So, In true Expat CHoice style we would like to highlight just One Delivery Solution: Todays affordable - wallet-friendly yet Quality Assured Independent Italian Food Delivery Island Wide is Mazzo Bar & Restaurant
