Many hawker owners, who are not tech-savvy or who do not speak English, have been struggling to make a living and to navigate food delivery services
It's not easy to expect them to just promote themselves on food delivery apps, as most of these services take a 25% to 30% commission, which usually leaves hawkers with only 10% to 20% profit.
On top of that, being at a digital disadvantage makes life harder for many older folks to promote their stalls on social media.
A non-profit initiative called Dabao Penang has been started with an aim to help these hawker uncles and aunties, as they battle with dine-in restrictions and lockdowns.
Here's how you can help:
2. Submit the details via their submission form link on their Instagram or Facebook so others can discover new hawkers.
3. Follow Dabao Penang on social media so you can discover and support these hawkers by dabaoing or pre-ordering your next meal from them.
