[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 5th that it is recruiting franchise stores to participate in the Jinju-type public-private partnership delivery app service, which is being promoted to improve the convenience of citizens' lives and reduce the management burden on small business owners.

The public-private partnership delivery app project is planned to reduce the high commission fees of 6-12% charged by general commercial delivery apps to 2%, thereby alleviating the management burden on local small business owners.

The city signed business agreements with three companies selected through a public contest last year?Smartro, Aram Solution, and Honeybiz?and after recruiting franchise stores and conducting a pilot operation, the service will officially open around February.

Any food and beverage business with a delivery service located in Jinju City can apply to become a franchise store.

For the February launch, the city has set a concentrated application period until the 20th, allowing a single application to be jointly used by the three public-private participating companies. Applicants must submit a franchise application form, business registration certificate, and a copy of their bankbook to the City Hall Job and Economy Division, Eup/Myeon/Dong Administrative Welfare Centers, or the public-private participating companies.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il said, “The Jinju-type public-private partnership delivery app will help local small business owners struggling with management difficulties and can be paid with Jinju Love Gift Certificates, making it a model case of public-private coexistence.” He added, “We ask for citizens’ active use and cooperation to overcome the COVID-19 crisis early and revitalize the local economy.”
