Grab Acquires Singapore-Based Dining Reservation Firm Chope
Grab Holdings Ltd. has acquired restaurant reservation platform Chope for an undisclosed sum and will take over its operations in Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, The Business Times reported on Monday.
據《商業時報》週一報道，Grab Holdings Ltd.以一個不公開的數額收購了餐廳預訂平台Chope，並將接管其在新加坡、印度尼西亞和泰國的業務。
Chope staff will join Grab's offices in a couple of weeks, BT reported citing an internal email it had seen from Grab head of deliveries Ngiam Xin Wei. No roles in Grab will be made redundant as a result of the deal and Chope's team will remain as a unit under Grab's Omnicommerce business, Ngiam said.
根據Bt的報道，Chope員工將在幾周內加入Grab的辦公室，Bt引用了Grab交付負責人Ngiam Xin Wei的一封內部電子郵件。Ngiam表示，這項交易不會導致Grab的任何職位被裁撤，而Chope的團隊將作爲Grab全渠道業務的一個單元繼續存在。
Taking over the near-profitable Chope won't dent Grab's positive-adjusted Ebitda, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Nathan Naidu wrote in a note. Chope's 10,000 merchants will bolster GrabFood's ecosystem of over 200,000, boosting outdoor dining advertising sales, he added.
彭博情報分析師Nathan Naidu在一份報告中寫道，接管這家接近盈利的Chope不會影響Grab的調整後盈利前稅息折舊與攤銷（EBITDA）的正面表現。他補充說，Chope的1萬個商家將增強GrabFood超過20萬的生態系統，提高室外餐飲廣告銷售。
Grab's latest acquisition underscores its dominance in ride-hailing and online food delivery in the region. Grab and Indonesian rival GoTo have this year revived discussions about a merger of their core businesses, as they battle it out in the Southeast Asian market of hundreds of millions of people. – Bloomberg
Grab最新的收購強調了其在該地區叫車和在線餐飲外賣方面的主導地位。Grab和印尼競爭對手GoTo今年已恢復了有關合並其核心業務的討論，因爲他們在擁有數億人口的東南亞市場上展開競爭。- 彭博
