The bag of tricks
Hacks with nothing underneath. They stop working the day Grab changes the rules.
More visibility. Higher conversion. Bigger baskets. A rating that climbs. One method to get there: run it yourself from the book, or have us run it on your account.

Listing ranks below three direct competitors in its delivery zone.
Ten items carry 71% of orders; the rest dilute the menu.
Illustrative example, not a client account.
The Grab Method is the honest, step-by-step way to protect your margins and grow orders that pay. It is the same method we run in every audit and every rebuild, written down so you can run it yourself, across Southeast Asia. See the preview →
Grab brings the customers across Southeast Asia. It also sets the terms. Here is what that quietly costs you.
"Commission is the price of demand, not theft. The job is to make sure you get back more than you pay."

On a typical order, about 60% is gone before rent and wages, and small baskets lose money. Every month without a method, the platform keeps the terms in its favour.
Hacks with nothing underneath. They stop working the day Grab changes the rules.
Quit the apps and go direct tomorrow. You throw away the demand that feeds you.
Keep the demand Grab brings, fix the economics underneath it, and earn the second order. A method, not tricks. Run it yourself, or have us run it.
Six parts, built as a ladder with two levels. It is also the exact method behind every audit and every rebuild we do: the book gives you the map, the audit walks it on your account.
Why Grab is worth mastering, and how to know your real numbers first.
Get found, refine the menu, activate demand, and own your timing, with a weekly loop that holds it together.
The real math of commission, and the fees behind the fee.
Why repeat orders, not first orders, decide everything.
Your own ordering channel, if and only if your profile fits.
Own your data and your future, with the platform still working for you.
The whole method, in order.
From $29, or done on your account from $299.
Not a list of tips. Six levers the book teaches you to pull, and the same six the audit checks on your account. Each comes with the playbook, the checklists, the numbers to track, and the mistakes to avoid.
A line by line per-order P&L, so you stop guessing whether delivery makes money.
Lifting the average order from about 34 to 40 dollars can move the share of profitable orders from roughly 63 to 88 percent.
Describe dishes, do not just label them, and price for delivery with care.
Pay per order, so you only pay for results.
Repeat customers are the cheapest, most profitable demand you will ever serve.
An honest go or no-go test, so you never build a channel that does not pay.
Learn the levers from $29, or have us pull them for you.
Ranges vary by market, cuisine and starting point.
This is what the audit looks for, and what the rebuild changes.
Three ways in, one method. Run it yourself, have us read your account and tell you what to fix, or hand the whole rebuild to us. Not on Grab yet? We set the account up for you.
The complete method, ready to run yourself. Both editions, covering listing, menu, photos, pricing and promos. Instant download.
Instant download.
See exactly where your account is leaking money, and what to fix first. A forensic read of your listing and your zone, turned into a ranked list of what to change.
Turnaround: 5 business days.
With your Merchant access, we rebuild the listing end to end: every fix made for you, not just recommended.
Diagnostic in 5 business days of access; rebuild live within 5 business days of your decisions and photos.
Most accounts are built in an afternoon and then fixed for years. We do the opposite: we look at your needs, your market and the restaurants already winning your zone, then build your account with the method: listing, menu, photos, pricing and settings, adding whatever it needs to start well.
Your Grab account built with the method, so the first version is the good one.
Built within 10 business days of your answers. Grab’s own approval runs on its side.
30 days on the books, money back, no forms, no hoops. On the audit, the rebuild and the setup, you approve the scope before we start, and anything not yet delivered is refunded. Read the refund policy.
My background sits where most delivery advice does not: across the food industry and web marketing. That mix is what it takes to see why a restaurant wins or loses on the apps, and to build a system you can run yourself.
I have spent years across Southeast Asia, sitting with operators of every kind, and seeing the same problems repeat: commissions, rankings, reviews, menus that do not travel. The Grab Method turns what works into a method you can run yourself. No content farm. No coaching funnel. Just the work. And when you hand us your account, everything is read by us, against the same method, not by a template.

The ones we get every week. Short, honest answers.
Both editions come with every tier. Start with the Operator’s Edition, the practical, mobile-friendly version you run from, and go deeper anytime in the Reference Edition, the in-depth, sourced version. English today, in plain, simple language; Thai, Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia editions are coming.
Not technical at all: if you can read your Grab Merchant app, you can use this. And it is useful even if you are already on Grab and doing okay. Most of the value is in seeing your true cost per order and earning the second order, and that helps even when things already look fine.
No, the opposite. We treat commission as the price of demand. Parts 5 and 6 add a direct layer only if your profile fits, alongside Grab, not instead of it.
It is built for independent operators across Southeast Asia, with Grab at the center because that is where the most demand is. The method applies to any delivery platform you run on.
One payment, lifetime access, and free updates for the 2026 edition. No subscription. Cards through Stripe, in your local currency or USD, or stablecoins: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or BNB Chain (BEP-20), and USDC on BNB Chain (BEP-20). If it is not for you, 30 days, money back, no argument. See the refund policy.
On the services it works the same way at checkout, card or stablecoin, but the terms differ: you approve a written scope before anything starts, and anything not yet delivered is refunded. Account Care is the one subscription we sell, monthly and cancellable with a month’s notice.
The audit is a read: we go through your listing and your zone against the method and hand you a ranked list of what to fix first, as a private report page and a PDF. You act on it. The rebuild is the same read, then we make every change ourselves. It includes the audit, so you never buy both.
Yes. $299 covers one platform: GrabFood, foodpanda or LINE MAN. Each additional platform is the same price, and the rebuild works the same way at $399 per platform.
Within 5 business days: a private report page and a PDF, yours to keep. Method + Toolbox is included and lands in your inbox right after checkout, so you have the playbook in hand while we read your account.
Two ways. The setup guide walks you through creating the account yourself. Or we set it up for you: we read your market and your competition, then build the account with the method, live within 10 business days.
The 30-day money-back guarantee is on the books. For the services, you approve the scope before we start, and anything not yet delivered is refunded in full. Details in the refund policy.
Run the method yourself from $29, have us read your account from $299, or hand us the rebuild from $399. Built for operators in SEA, with a 30-day money-back guarantee on the books.

USDT and USDC on Tron or BNB Chain. Prices are fixed in USD, so the amount does not move with the market.
Accepted: USDT on Tron (TRC-20), USDT on BNB Chain (BEP-20), and USDC on BNB Chain (BEP-20). Sending on another network will result in lost funds.
