KUALA LUMPUR (April 7): Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd (Nestle Malaysia) plans to partner local restaurants and hotels to launch the food and beverage manufacturer's meat-free menu that will cater to a wider customer base.
Nestle Malaysia business executive officer Yit Woon Lai said the response from restaurant chains has been encouraging.
"We will also integrate this (meat-free menu) into delivery platforms like Airasia Food and Foodpanda," she said here today at the launch of Nestle Malaysia's plant-based facility.
According to Nestle Malaysia, the plant-based facility here is Nestle Malaysia's first such entity within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.

SINGAPORE (CNA) – We will fly again. It just might happen much later for most of us, in 2024 and beyond.
Despite the roll out of vaccines and the opening of economies, the patchy global coverage in vaccinations and the spike in infection rates of COVID-19 in various countries indicate it will be some time before air passenger travel returns to 2019 levels.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast that in an optimistic scenario the air travel market would reach 38 per cent of 2019 levels in 2021 and airlines would spend USD75 billion over the year to maintain operations.
In a pessimistic scenario, the air travel market would only amount to 33 per cent of 2019 levels and airlines would spend USD95 billion.   To complicate matters, the recovery will vary across regions. An Aviation Forecast Report by the global consulting service company ICF found that 60 per cent of their respondents polled in Asia thought the region will see full recovery in less than 12 months.

SINGAPORE, March 22 — Fiona Lim charges S$4.50 (RM13.80) for a medium bowl of
bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) at a food centre in Bukit Merah.
About a quarter of her business comes from selling them on food delivery platforms, but she nets little profit from online sales after deducting the delivery firms’ commission.
“We hawkers tend to be at a disadvantage because we don’t take as much profit. Our food costs are actually very high,” said the 31-year-old who runs Chun Seng Noodle House with her husband.

We know that food delivery costs more than takeout or dining in, but how much more are we talking about? 
In this pseudo-scientific field test, I decided to see how much it would cost if I made three orders – a hawker dish, a restaurant meal, and a cup of bubble tea – using my usual food delivery app. Then, I looked up the prices for takeout and dine in for comparison.
Food delivery is the most costly; but that’s to be expected, given the delivery fees. What’s shocking is the amount added to my meal.
Surprisingly, the restaurant meal had the least variance, as there was no in-app mark-up on the beef noodles. The increase came purely from the delivery fee.

Singapore, March 15 (ANI): Malaysian discount carrier AirAsia, which co-owns AirAsia India with Tata Sons, has launched a "no-frills" food delivery service in Singapore.
This is aligned with their "super-app" strategy to diversify revenues following the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to the airline industry. Airlines around the world are struggling to stay afloat and are finding ways to generate some revenue in whatever form.
In a report published on March 5, IATA (International Air Transport Association) said that air travel measured by Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) fell in January, from levels in December, and was 72 per cent lower than in the pre-crisis month of January 2019. This setback for the airlines' passenger business was driven by tightening government travel restrictions across the world, following the emergence of COVID-19 variants.

AirAsia's food delivery platform airasia food has hit the ground in Singapore, charging a commission rate of 15% to merchants which group CEO Tony Fernandes touts as "the lowest commission rate in town". The platform was initially launched last May as OURFOOD but rebranded to airasia food as part of airasia.com's super app.
As part of the launch in the Singapore market, airasia food is on the hunt for F&B operators to sign up as merchants, offering a special sign-on rate as low as 8% for the month of March. According to Fernandes, this enables merchants to earn more while having full control over their menu, pricing and easy access to data aside from being able to communicate directly with their customers.

KUALA LUMPUR: Almost a year since its introduction in the Klang Valley area, AirAsia
food is now set to spread its wings to other major cities in the country starting with Johor and Penang next month.
AirAsia Bhd chief executive officer Riad Asmat said the business was recording a very positive growth, especially during the return of Conditional Movement Control Order between October to December 2020, and the trajectory remained promising into 2021.
He said under its expansion plan, the company had started an entrepreneurial programme to recruit more talents to grow airasia food together in the upcoming potential markets, as well as securing more merchants under its umbrella.

WHY BRANDS MATTER FOR ECONOMIC REVIVAL
KUALA LUMPUR, 11 December 2020 -- ( ASIA TODAY ) -- A crisis triggers brand owners to reorient their marketing efforts, and usually, Advertising and Promotion (A&P) budgets are the first to be slashed. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, brands that have an enhanced presence during a crisis, such as this pandemic, will be the ones to stand out post-recovery.
“In times of crisis, consumers take notice of brands that ’stand by’ them and show that they care. Inadvertently, such brands secure customer confidence and loyalty,” International Advertising Association Malaysia (IAA Malaysia) president John D. Chacko said, adding that this is the case with both multinationals and SMEs.
