Gyeonggi-do Public Delivery App to Fully Launch in October... Recruiting Restaurants in Hwaseong, Paju, and Osan

[Asia Economy (Uijeongbu) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is recruiting franchise stores to participate in the pilot service of the 'Public Delivery App Construction Project' (tentative name) aimed at protecting the rights and interests of small business owners.

The target stores are restaurants capable of delivery in the pilot operation areas of the public delivery app: Hwaseong, Paju, and Osan.

Restaurants wishing to participate can apply for franchise registration on the Gyeonggi Province Corporation website (www.kgcbrand.com).

Gyeonggi Province Corporation will proceed with the store onboarding process, including on-site visits and menu registration, starting with the stores that complete the application. If you apply by the pre-application deadline of the 30th of next month, you can participate in the pilot service in October.

The application documents include the franchise application form and business registration certificate. For more details, please contact the customer center at 031-5171-5142.

The public delivery app is an application developed and operated by Gyeonggi Province Corporation to prevent the harms caused by monopolization in the platform market related to delivery app commission controversies and to create an economic environment where consumers and small business owners coexist.

An official from the province explained, "It is expected to reduce the brokerage commission, which ranges from 6 to 13%, to around 2%, eliminate additional advertising fees, and thus alleviate the economic burden on small business owners."
