At least in Jakarta, this is the opposite of the case. The big banks (and investors) have found out that its easier/safer to lend money to these delivery platforms who then pass on deals to people who buy from all the little shops (and big chains) on their platforms, than to all these little mom and pop shops, while still paying full price for the orders at pick up.
Before corona, me and my wife would be at the mall and order thru grab or gojek for the store 10 feet away because it was cheaper lol
- rahimnathwani 6y agoHow long has this been going on? Perhaps the delivery platforms in Jakarta are still running in 'land grab' mode? The situation you've described (selling to you for less than their cost) obviously isn't sustainable forever.
- cinquemb 6y agoFor about a 2 years now, and yeah I know it isn't sustainable forever, but I know I'll be spending less if the prices go up.
