GETTING your home-cooked food fix is easy with Hawkr, Malaysia’s food delivery platform focused on pioneering micro-cloud kitchens with an emphasis on home-cooked food.
Boasting more than 110 home-cooked meal brands, Hawkr delivers highly customisable home-cooked cuisines right to your doorstep, which is now available in the Klang Valley and very soon in Penang as well.
“By just logging on to our website, foodies in KL can get delicious home-cooked meals. Whether it is spicy nasi lemak, savoury biryanis, premium pastries and desserts or fusion western meals, you can get it all delivered to you for as little as RM4.99,” said Hawkr founder Li Yen Tan.
“The secret ingredient with Hawkr is our ability to fully personalise meals because we work directly with home cooks. For example, customers who are diabetic can quickly and easily request for the necessary dietary changes when making their order.”
But what truly sets Hawkr apart from other similar food platforms is its hyper-focus on home cooks providing a connective and holistic platform that opens them up to millions of hungry Malaysian tummies.
Hawkr takes a personalised and hands-on approach that is immensely beneficial to those who are brand new to the business.
The recent pandemic has resulted in thousands of Malaysians turning to new business ventures to make ends meet and this includes opening up home-based food and beverage (F&B) businesses.
As a result, there is now a significant number of individuals who are new to the business and are completely unfamiliar with how to set up and grow a successful F&B businesses.
“This is where Hawkr comes into play. Not only do we make it as easy and risk-free as possible to get started with our zero upfront payment approach, we also make it more affordable along the way with lower service fees of just 15% per transaction,” Tan remarked.
“More importantly, unlike other players in the industry, we don’t just focus on getting your food to customers, we spend personal and quality time with each of our merchants to help them with all aspects of setting up their business and making it successful.”
Inspired by her own love for home-cooked food, Hawkr was first conceptualised in the United States before being established here in Malaysia.
The platform proved to be the perfect solution for many who were looking for alternative sources of income when the first movement control order (MCO) was implemented in March 2020.
“We firmly believe that a person does not need the fanciest equipment nor the most capital-intensive technology and devices to succeed in the food industry,” Tan added.
“All you need is a passion for cooking, and we can help you with the rest. We are proud to say that through our efforts, we already have five merchants who now own and operate multiple brands through our platform.” – Dec 9, 2021
