Bacolod, Rejoice: You Can Now Have Food Delivered Via GrabFood

Ordering From GrabFood Here in Bacolod Has Never Been This Easy

For a doting wife and mom like me, there’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to cook for your loved ones. I’m not completely useless around the kitchen but there are just those times when you no longer feel like cooking because you’re too tired or busy. I used to envy those in Metro Manila because they can have great food with only a few clicks and delivered right at their doorstep at no time. But now that GrabFood is already in Bacolod, I have no reason to be envious anymore. I’m simply thankful that finally I can enjoy all the food and other services that Grab has to offer.

About Grab

Grab is a Singapore-based technology company. In addition to transportation, the company offers food delivery, digital payments, and delivery services via mobile app. It mostly operates in Southeast and East Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Japan.

The Grab app assigns taxis and private hire cars to nearby commuters through a location-sharing system. The company makes money by taking a cut of the booking fees. The company also educates taxi drivers on using the smartphone and their mobile app.

The first time that Grab invaded Bacolod was in 2015 when Grab Taxi was introduced in the city. Then came Grab Car in 2017.

However, GrabFood, the leading food delivery platform of Grab was officially launched in the City of Smiles last October 22, 2019 as a part of GrabFood’s expansion as Bacolod is the 35th city in the Philippines to enjoy a variety of services of Grab using the mobile-driven platform.

Because of Bacolod’s exciting culinary scene, locals have become discriminating eaters. That’s why GrabFood has affiliated with a number of merchants to serve to a diverse range of pallets.
