Techy Friends Develop Delivery App to Help Small Businesses in Baguio Amid Crisis

TECHY FRIENDS- Experts in technology in Baguio City developed a delivery application for small eateries and businesses to help them earn amid crisis.

Friends in this city decided to develop a food delivery app aimed at helping small businesses who lose revenue during the quarantine. Clifford Gonzales and Maui Fernando developed “When in Baguio Eats” to help the small restaurants recover from the current lockdown.

“Nagba-browse kami [tapos sabi namin] bakit panay big brands lang ang mga nasa apps na ‘to? So nag-create kami ng mobile application na magpa-pioneer o magpu-push ng local businesses ahead kasi marami kaming kaibigan na labis naapektuhan ng pandemic na ‘to,” Fernando said.

They said that their commission on food businesses is much lower than other food delivery app. Their application only deducts 10 percent compared to other delivery apps which are said to be 30 percent, based on the report of ABS-CBN News.

“Kasi noong una may mga kaibigan akong vendor tapos bawat isa sa kanila may kuwento… Nakaisip kami ng way ni Maui para matulungan sila,” Fernandez added.

People who benefit from their application were street vendors, taxi drivers, and even small eateries. One of its users is the food business of Jahmela Benitez, who was then based at Saint Louis University.

Fernandez and Gonzales also plan to include pasalubong products and artworks of local artists who lost their livelihoods due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in their application.
