With airasia food, our flat-rates are equivalent to only a 10% commission rate, enabling merchants to earn more while having full control over their menu, pricing and also have easy access to data aside from being able to communicate directly with their customers.

We live in an environment where food delivery is no longer complementary but is becoming one of the primary sales channels for restaurants and home kitchen businesses everywhere.
