Marketplace@WhyQ is a virtual real estate of Food Courts, Coffee Shops, Restaurants and more!
The platform offers customers island-wide delivery and empowers the F&B community to operate an online business. You can now take your business online easily and have full ownership on how your e shop is run - from opening hours, to the editing of menus, to the setting of promotions.
Marketplace@WhyQ started as a community initiative. It seeks to empower the local F&B community, especially smaller food establishments, to take their businesses online at minimal costs.
We have since grown to become a community of more than 800+ F&B vendors, offering customers affordable island wide food delivery.
Marketplace@WhyQ is a community initiative that allows F&B owners to easily own an online store at virtually no cost. We do not charge commission; only a small 6% admin fee to cover payment gateway costs.
By being part of the community, you get immediate access to WhyQ's pool of more than 200K customer base and enable your food to be delivered island-wide. We will help equip you with:
1) Customizable E-shop that you can manage how you want
2) Simplified marketing outreach tools for you to boost sales
3) Fully integrated island-wide delivery logistics solutions
Marketplace@WhyQ is a community platform so there is no commission involved.
The platform will do a 6% markup on your food price as the platform fee (this goes to payment vendors eg. banks, credit cards etc , hosting fee, and administrative fee to sustain the platform). No hidden fee!
We just need your commitment to stay true to the pricing you have at your physical location and prepare the food with love!
We do not charge vendors any form of commission! We will pay you the full price as per what is listed on your menu.
A token 6% markup (this fee will be borne by the customer) will be applied on your original listed price to pay for digital payment gateway, hosting fee, and administrative fee.
The system will auto calculate a 6% markup on your original price list after you have entered into the system.
This markup price will be the final price displayed to the customers.
Marketplace@WhyQ accepts DBS payment credit card, debit card and PayLah.
For other bank credit and debit cards, we use Stripe as a secured payment gateway. There is no additional payment charge required as the fees are included in the 6% food markup.

You have the option to accept or reject that order.
If you are busy and not able to respond, the order will be automatically rejected after 10 minutes. We strongly encourage you to think through a workflow or rhythm where you can manage both physical queue and Marketplace orders so as not to disappoint any customers.
You will be able to set this in the Vendor Panel by going to View Stall Information > Edit. This lead time can be configured in 5 mins intervals.
By default, the order lead time is set at 10 mins. Assuming the current time is 3pm, you will have until 3.10pm to get the order ready for pick up by the delivery rider.
WhyQ will pay vendors weekly.
Payment will be made within 1 week from the end of the pay cycle. You will also receive a notification indicating that payment has been made.
For example, for orders delivered on 1st to 7th of the month, payment will be made by the 14th of the month.
We do not have a minimum service term nor a termination fee.
However, we require 1 month notice if you wish to terminate this agreement.
You will be able to mark your food item as Out of Stock.

There are two options for your food to be delivered.
(1) WhyQ Delivery – We will automatically assign a driver to pick up each order. This is the default mode of delivery.
(2) Self Delivery – If you prefer, you can opt for your own delivery for each order. You can set a ‘Min cart amount’ for delivery and the delivery fee you charge customer. The delivery fee will be paid to you if you opt for ‘Self-Delivery’ option. Marketplace@WhyQ allows for ‘Self Delivery’ option as some Vendors would like to make that additional delivery income themselves.

Discount is calculated after the 6% mark up prices.
The final amount disbursed to you will be (Your original menu price) - (Discount applied).
Here's an example:
10% Discount
Item cost: $10
WhyQ Price: $10.60 (after 6% markup)
Discount: 10% x $10.60 = $1.06
You will receive: $10 - $1.06 = $8.94
