Should a Singapore restaurant prioritise foodpanda or GrabFood?
Direct answer · updated
In 2026 a Singapore restaurant should run both. GrabFood carries the larger order volume, while foodpanda holds heartland suburbs and tolerates higher menu pricing. Commission sits around 28 to 32 percent on both, so the decision that actually matters is pricing each channel separately and tracking net margin per dish.
GrabFood has the larger Singapore order volume in 2026, but foodpanda commands premium menu pricing and dine-in delivery suburbs. The honest answer: both. A unified POS like LOOP runs both queues from one screen and surfaces net-of-commission margin per dish, so you can price each platform differently without losing track of true profitability.
How it works with LOOP
Outside-Vietnam payment integrations, delivery ingestion and e-invoicing are on roadmap; retain existing provider workflows and record sales in LOOP POS. Channel pricing is set per platform, so the delivery uplift covers the commission instead of guessing. Every ticket is booked net of its own commission rate, and the per-dish margin report tells you which items are profitable on Grab, on panda, and only at the counter.
Key facts
- GrabFood: largest SG order volume
- foodpanda: stronger in heartland suburbs
