The return to Phase 2 Heightened Alert is definitely a blow to the gut for us all, but arguably more so for hawkers and local businesses that now have to return to relying on delivery. It is a known fact that while your usual delivery apps do provide convenience and access to your favourite stalls, on average they take about 20% to 30% commission on the order from merchants.
So instead of opting for delivery via Grab or Deliveroo, consider these Hawker Stalls that Provide take-away and/or pre-order services.
