B
ByteDance’s Douyin has been trialing a food delivery service since December as it looks to expand its business beyond advertising. It potentially competes itself against major e-commerce companies like Alibaba and Meituan. And the company is now considering extending the service beyond the trial.
A Douyin spokesperson says that the company has been “testing a feature in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu that enables merchants(商人) to promote and sell ‘group-buying’ packages to Douyin users in these select cities and have them delivered”. Restaurant owners often livestream on Douyin to market their business. While doing this, they can offer discounts and coupons (优惠券) for their food to users watching the videos. Multiple users can then purchase that offer mainly and choose a time within two days for the food to arrive. The model is very different from Meituan and Alibaba’s Ele. me which are both on-demand food delivery services.
The digital giant has approached restaurant owners and food enterprises in the three cities to promote their dishes on the App. Douyin states that the success of the trial run will determine whether the in-app meal delivery service will be expanded to other cities. “We would consider expanding the feature to more cities in the future depending on the testing results. There is no detailed timeline yet,” a Douyin spokesperson says.
China’s food delivery industry is dominated by Meituan and Ele. me. Douyin has fewer food buying options than Meituan and Ele. me. But ByteDance’s tentative(暂定的) steps into the market suggest it wants a slice of the market. Major e-commerce platforms are getting into the food delivery business.
One Weibo post reads, “More platforms could be advantageous for both food business owners and regular consumers.” Users think the competition will help registered vendors (销售商) and users because customers will have more options and food business owners can use the platform that charges the lowest service fee.
