Deliveroo launches the service with PARKnSHOP.

It had delivered over 440,000 meals to the local community.

The opening follows last year’s launch of the Tseung Kwan O site in December.

The new 3,921 sq. ft space features indoor and outdoor seating, and is the first to introduce the limited-time only Avocado Bacon menu, available until May 15.

Extending dine-in hours and providing additional subsidies to affected restaurants are considered the ‘most effective’ measures by the government to support the F&B industry.

The platform is also calling others within the industry to roll out support measures.

Users will later find a tag that signifies which restaurants have opted into the scheme.

Affected stores will remain open for takeout services only until further notice, the company said.

60% of Hong Kongers now see food delivery “as a necessity”, Deliveroo said.

Only 26% of restaurants surveyed said they are confident on the revenue on dine-in business in the approaching Chinese New Year period.

The company expects approximately 50,000 jobs to be created as a result.

Hosting five kitchens, the Tseung Kwan O site will also mark the debut of casual Japanese dining chain Watami.

It will remain in the market, saying they are “more committed than ever” to growing their mobility platform.

Over eight neighbourhoods will be catered for by the new site.

This was the largest jump on record.
