CEBU CITY – A corporate concierge delivery firm is looking to partner with more restaurants in Cebu, as it sees rising demand amid the quarantine restrictions brought about by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) crisis.

James Kodrowski, managing director of Foodie.ph, told reporters here on Thursday that the company is “aggressively looking for more partner restaurants in Metro Cebu”.

The company has over a hundred vendors in Metro Manila, he said.

The delivery firm recently expanded to the Cebu market, where demand for food delivery has seen an unprecedented growth driven by consumers buying food online during the quarantine period.

“The pandemic has brought challenges in sourcing event requirements. Foodie.ph can fix any corporate food requirements and effectively fill this gap between the corporate customers and the restaurants,” Kodrowski said.

Cebu’s corporate customers who need bulk food, whether for meetings, conferences, or catering, now have more delivery options.

Existing food delivery companies such as Grab Food and Foodpanda have also been seeing this strong demand since the start of the lockdowns early this year.

Foodie.ph in particular is seeing a growing demand for food group delivery.

“We are an enterprise-level platform that allows corporate clients to efficiently order online. Customers do not need to worry about quarantine restrictions when ordering for group food,” he said.

Cebu's expanding delivery industry has been boosted by growing consumer demand amid the Covid-19-induced social distancing and stay-at-home protocols.

The firm has a dedicated in-house call center and logistics team that gather quotations, contact restaurants, track and deliver the orders with a guaranteed on-time delivery service. (PNA)
