PART 1: GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Company Introduction

1.1.1 Company Profile

Grab is a multinational technology company based in Singapore, providing diverse transportation services from motorbikes, 4-seater cars, 7-seater cars, food delivery, delivery via mobile applications motion Grab has grown to become a famous brand

in 8 countries such as: Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam

1 GrabFood Logo Figure 1

GrabFood is a service provided by Grab, to connect local businesses/restaurants with people GrabFood meets the needs of eating and ordering food for customers everywhere connected with GrabFood and at any time GrabFood was first launched

in 2018 in Ho Chi Minh City, GrabFood has now served 19 provinces and attracted more than 13 million users in HCMC, and Hanoi (Kantar TNS) offers high-quality food delivery and helps make the life of Vietnamese people more convenient and developed

1.1.3 GrabFood’s Culture

- Heart: We work together as OneGrab to see

- Hunger: We work to understand ground truth

- Honour: We keep our word and steward our resources wisely to build and sustain trust

- Humility: We are a constant work-in-pro

According to Ms Dinh Thi Hoa Dao - Human Resources Director of Grab Vietnam

- "The Grab Way" is developed based on the principle of 4H: Heart - serving with the heart; Hunger - desire to serve, innovate, put partners and users first; Honor - learn and improve skills and Humility - promote humility, the spirit of improvement These criteria make up the “Grabber DNA”

Among them, the most important factor seems to be Humility - promoting humility, and putting users and partners first Resonating in an environment that promotes the spirit and capacity of employees, Grab Vietnam maintains the goal of "work-life balance": Open office, flexible working time, and encouragement of creative freedom… Employees can actively ask to participate in projects they find interesting, discuss directly with leaders when seeing an inappropriate plan, and contribute to the improvement of company culture

1.1.4 GrabFood’s Appearance in Viet Nam

It is known that Vietnam currently has a young population, concentrated mainly in urban areas, plus a high rate of smartphone use, which has helped the online ordering market to be ready to explode

online food ordering services at least 2-3 times a month Notably, up to 39% of survey respondents ordered food through the app 2-3 times a week

It can be seen that the market has begun to form a group of customers who have the habit of almost turning on mobile applications to order food every day The opportunity for online ordering services is now

Grab chose Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) as the third deployment place after Jakarta (Indonesia) and Bangkok (Thailand) Because Vietnam is also GrabFood's second fastest growing market in Southeast Asia, second only to Indonesia

After only 8 months of official launch, Vietnam became GrabFood's fastest growing market in Southeast Asia outside of Indonesia (In HCMC: GrabFood was tested on May 10, 2018 and officially launched on May 10, 2018) June 2018 and is achieving impressive growth month by month In September 2018, the number of GrabFood orders increased 2.3 times compared to the previous month.)

Figure 1 5 Grab and competitors in other countries

According to the Vietnam Retailers Association, only 30% of urbanites ordered food online in 2017 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but this number increased to 70% in the first 6 months of 2018 This means that the number of people using the online

Figure 1 6 Percentage of people ordering food directly

A survey by Havas Riverorchid confirmed that Delivery Now is the first name that consumers think of when asked about food ordering services in Ho Chi Minh City However, the market quickly changed when many new investors planned to enter Grab, an application that provides transportation and transportation services has launched a trial of GrabFood service provided in 5 urban districts of Ho Chi Minh City And at that time, Grab had 500 partners who were restaurants and food shops

in the area

Grab's No 1 position in the Vietnamese market is not surprising Because of the early presence in Vietnam compared to other competitors, many advantages can be enjoyed GrabFood captures customer psychology and has a relatively large number

of partners

However, according to some analysis, no one can be sure if GrabFood can stand firmly in that position because of "big" competitors such as SEA - Now, Go-Jek - Go-Food and Woowa Brothers - Vietnammm / Beamin are both Asian unicorns and they are not inferior to GrabFood financially

1.2 Market Overview

Figure 1 7 Food delivery user ratio change

Not only has the usage rate of food ordering apps increased, but the ordering frequency also tends to increase The percentage of people using weekly food delivery apps increased from 80% to 85% after a year frequency ordering partly comes from regular promotions of online food ordering apps/platforms to encourage customers to order online more

PART 3: GRABFOOD’S SERVICE

3.1 Basic Focus Strategy

GrabFood is also focused on service strategy, it has also focused on building a network of merchant-partners According to a Grab representative, an expansion in the number of merchant-partners was imperative for further growth GrabFood cares about its partners’ growth and wants to build a win-win relationship so that they can grow together, the representative said

Instead of offering a slew of discounts and other promotional programs to attract customers, GrabFood competes based on creative strategies, adapting to the diverse demands and tastes of customers in the various regions

For example, GrabFood has many exclusive menus of well-known restaurants with

"GrabFood Signatures" These co-created dishes and drinks are constantly in the top three of most ordered items at big partners like Gong Cha and MeetFresh

In addition, GrabFood has reduced the average delivery time to just 20 minutes, which means customers can enjoy their favorite food delivered fresh and delicious This, in turn, means that merchant-partners can retain customer loyalty At the same time, marketing campaigns undertaken in cooperation with GrabFood help them increase their customer base

The Grab representative also said that on average, merchant-partners earn up to 300 percent in incremental revenue within two to three months of being on the platform GrabFood has the advantage of being a technology mobile platform to which smart functions have been integrated, including locating the nearest restaurants, updating status of orders and chatting with drivers via GrabChat
