Furthermore, in these times of continuing global pandemic and containment efforts, Facedrive Foods ensures the highest level of safety for its customers, dispatching drivers thoroughly trained in COVID-19 protocols and ensuring 100% contactless deliveries.

The new multilingual Facedrive Foods app, available in English and Chinese, is backed by state-of-the-art tech to make customer journey pleasant and flawless. It is equipped with leading-edge functions such as real time order status, preorder, rewards, referrals, express order, "you may also like" recommendations powered by the app's AI algorithm, promo search and others. Customers may use Facedrive Foods to order meals from restaurants as well as groceries from participating stores. The app's current production roadmap includes advanced analytics around drivers' health and contact tracing to bring safety standards to a new level unmatched by any known competitor platforms.

"It is a great honor for us to have the support and trust of Canadians to deliver food to their homes. Our team works relentlessly to extend the network of participating restaurant partners and offer our customers more choices, shorter delivery times and enhanced experience with our app. We expect to present a number of exciting developments to the users of Facedrive Foods very soon," said Di Han, GM of Facedrive Foods.

"The launch of the fully integrated Facedrive Foods Mobile App comes as a result of hard work and dedication of our teams. It consolidates our efforts on many fronts, including operations, development and M&A, with acquisitions of Foodora Canada assets and Food Hwy playing a critical role in the success of the platform. It also lays ground for the integration of many upcoming features and functionalities. Currently, these features are concentrated around health and safety of all our users, i.e. drivers, end customers, and restaurant partners, as people's well-being remains our top priority in these challenging times," said Sayan Navaratnam, Chairman and CEO of Facedrive. "As part of Facedrive's ongoing commitment to put our people first, we will be equipping all our drivers with advanced health-related analytics within the next few weeks to minimize their exposure to the virus," added Navaratnam.
