Another Grab product/service? You bet. GrabKitchen is the latest F&B concept that will bring added convenience, affordability, and variety to customers in Malaysia. The delivery-only cloud kitchen will also help restaurant-partners to grow and expand their business more efficiently.
Doodles that turn into noodles? That’s got to be some kind of magic, right? Involves a fairy godmother or a purple genie? Well, if you can imagine Google’s AI in some sort of magician’s hat made up of ones and zeroes, perhaps. Grab’s new Delivery Doodles feature uses AI to turn any kid’s doodles of their favourite food into actual food orders delivered via GrabFood.
There’s no denying that the holy fasting month of Ramadhan is different this year, with the ongoing Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and the COVID-19 pandemic. Many will miss the Ramadhan bazaars and breaking fast sessions with family, friends, and loved ones.
The Ramadan bazaar is something to look forward each year for both consumers and business sellers alike.

E-wallets and going cashless seem to be the conversation topics of the moment, thanks in part to the government’s ongoing e-Tunai Rakyat programme that aims to spur e-wallet adoption in the country.

It continues to expand its merchant footprint and use cases, making it easier for you and me to go cashless. So, can one go completely cashless? Well, Grab threw me a challenge to do just that recently.
Following the success of its cloud kitchen concept in Indonesia and several other Southeast Asian countries, Grab has opened its first GrabKitchen in Singapore. The leading lifestyle super app also announced a merchant platform that will provide tools for F&B merchant-partners of all sizes to expand their businesses.
