Knorr Pinto elevates instant porridge to the next level with freshly cooked toppings and home delivery

In Thailand, Unilever’s Knorr is bringing its instant porridge to the next level with Knorr Pinto. Pinto is Thai for lunch box. The Knorr Pinto contains porridge and freshly cooked toppings such as shrimp, chicken and pork in two separate containers stacked like a multi-tiered food container. Ginger and spring onions are included. Prices start at just THB 59.

With dine-in temporarily banned but has since been relaxed, restaurants now are shifting their business model to online delivery and take-away following the COVID-19 outbreak. Interestingly, instant porridge maker Knorr is also tapping the same online delivery channel by offering freshness and convenience. Knorr Pinto represents the upgraded instant porridge that provides restaurant-like quality through the use of freshly cooked toppings. The extra convenience is provided by leveraging on home delivery.

Knorr Pinto is available on GrabFood: https://bit.ly/2SazyWd and LINEMAN: https://bit.ly/2VPrH2Q. The delivery is confined to Bangkok and its vicinity areas.

Now available ready-to-cook category on GoFood

GoFood, the online food delivery platform of GoJek, has added a new ready-to-cook category in Indonesia to offer consumers with more eating at home food choices during the pandemic. Merchants can add ready-to-cook offerings in addition to their existing ready-to-eat menu.

The ready-to-cook category provided at GoodFood includes meal kit packages that come with all the food ingredients but requires cooking and frozen foods that are ready to cook and serve such as chicken nuggets and meatballs.

The new ready-to-cook category is now available in selected cities including Jabodetabek, Bandung, Surabaya, Medan, Semarang, Makassar, Palembang, Bali, Yogyakarta, Malang, and Solo. More cities will be added soon.

Flash Coffee lands in Bangkok

Flash Coffee, a fully tech-enabled coffee chain under Rocket Internet Company, has opened its first outlet in Thailand at Hong Kong Plaza on South Sathorn Road in Bangkok on 14 May 2020. According to Coconuts.co, Flash Coffee brings to Thailand its famous avocado-infused lattes (THB 70), lychee coffee (THB 70) and Nutella Latte (THB 75). For THB 40, one can get an espresso or an americano.

Non-coffee drinks include Nutella Coconut Shake (THB 75), Lotus Biscuit Shake (THB 75) and Matcha-Damia Shake (THB 70).

Consumers can opt for plant-based substitutes – soy, pistachio or almond.

Flash Coffee, which has stores in Indonesia, will focus on the grab-and-go concept with a heavy emphasis on delivery and takeaway.

Mr Coffeeholic recruits Coffeepreneurs to expand distribution channel

COVID-19 has become a catalyst for companies to explore and create new business model. Some of them are turning to home-based entrepreneurs to recruit more consumers, while providing employment opportunities to people during the economic downturn. In Indonesia, coffee chain Mr Coffeeholic has introduced Coffeepreneur/home franchise to sell coffee drinks from home.

The initial model of IDR 7.5 million (USD 500) covers franchise fee, raw materials, equipment (espresso machine) and packaging materials. We suspect the coffeepreneurs will be selling Mr Coffeeholic ready-to-drink coffee beverages. The RTD format is becoming popular with beverage chains to target at-home consumption to supplement the take-out business.

New TH true Nut Pistachios and TH true Yogurt Passionfruit

Also new to the TH true Yogurt series is passionfruit in a 100g pack.

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 MAY 2020 – As the spread of COVID-19 continues, it is imperative to make it a priority to address the challenges faced by the vulnerable groups as well as those who have been most impacted by the pandemic to ensure that no one is marginalised.

7-Eleven Malaysia, in collaboration with its startup NGOhub, has taken the initiative to offer help and support to selected women’s non-governmental organisations. The recipients were Women of Will, Persatuan Ibu Tunggal Shah Alam (PITSA) and Persatuan Suri Rumah Rahmah, among others.

Most of them are single mothers, widows, abandoned or abused women and women with incapacitated spouse living in poverty. In order to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, it is of utmost importance to provide the support needed so that they could develop a small business and help them to lead a fulfilling life.

7-Eleven Malaysia General Manager of Marketing, Ronan Lee said: “Many non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are adversely hit by the outbreak of the pandemic, including women’s organisations. Most of them run home-based businesses such as selling packed meals, bakeries, tailoring, and beauty products and their business has been negatively affected.”

“To lend a hand to lighten their load, we handed out Lenovo Tab M7 tablets and internet connection to selected women’s non-governmental organisations. These electronic devices would definitely help them to start an online business and ensure the continuity of their businesses through online platforms. We hope this small contribution will assist them in their efforts to improve ICT capabilities and generate much needed sales to their businesses,” Lee said.

“At 7-Eleven, we always strive to provide assistance, care and support to communities in need. This is part of our efforts to enhance the welfare of vulnerable women and reduce socio-economic disparities,” he added.
