Grab Philippines launched its first cloud kitchen in the Philippines in Makati City in 2020. It has since opened GrabKitchens in Parañaque, Malate, Caloocan, and Bacoor in Cavite. On Monday, the company opened its first cloud kitchen outside of Luzon in Cebu City.
A cloud kitchen is essentially a commissary that houses different food brands in one location where food delivery riders pick up orders for customers. Grab allows its consumers to order food from more than one restaurant here, providing them with a wider selection with just one delivery fee.

The cloud kitchen in the Queen City of the South features six restaurants, namely: Happilee Korean Kitchen, CoCo, Big Al’s Cookie Jar, and Merry Moo; and homegrown Cebuano restaurants Chef Joshua’s Kitchen and Cooee Cafe.
For merchants, GrabKitchen Cebu allows them to reach customers access to as far as Mandaue City, expanding their customer base beyond a physical location.
“We are truly excited to empower and enable more micro, small, and medium enterprises to scale their businesses as we launch our first GrabKitchen in the Queen City of the South,” Grab Philippines Director for Deliveries Greg Camacho said. “GrabKitchen is designed to be a vehicle for smaller local businesses to scale and expand their presence across regions without having to break the bank for facilities and equipment. With our cloud kitchen, we are optimistic that Cebu culinary offerings will be enjoyed by more Filipinos both in the province and in other areas across the Philippines.”
Grab said it would expand the restaurants in the cloud kitchen in Cebu to include more homegrown brands as well as food companies from other regions in the next few months.
Besides Grab, there are other players in the cloud kitchen concept in the country, including CloudEats, MadEats, Mercato United Kitchen and Kraver’s Canteen, which is a partner company of GrabKitchen in the latter’s concept in Parañaque City.
