Should a Malaysian restaurant prioritise foodpanda or GrabFood?
GrabFood has the larger MY order volume in major cities; foodpanda is stronger in Penang and East Malaysia. Both: ~30% commission. The honest play is to run both plus ShopeeFood (18-28% with promos) and let a unified POS like LOOP reconcile per-channel margin so you can price each platform separately.
Key facts
- GrabFood: larger MY volume, major cities
- foodpanda: Penang + East MY strong
