, ‘Gyeonggi Province is stepping up to activate the private delivery app market by operating with intermediation fees of 2% or less to support small businesses whose profit structure is deteriorating due to high intermediary fees (9.8%) and delivery fee burden by private app companies.’,
,
, ‘Gyeonggi Province announced on the 16th that it will openly recruit private delivery app operators who operate with intermediation fees of 2% or less by the 25th.’,
,
, ‘All delivery app operators offering intermediation fees of 2% or less are eligible to apply, and if their evaluated score based on their own evaluation criteria exceeds a certain standard, they will be selected as operators. The agreement period is 2 years, and selected private public delivery app operators will be able to use the Gyeonggi local currency payment system.’,
,
, ‘The province cites the activation of delivery apps with intermediation fees of 2% or less as the background for introducing this business.’,
,
, ‘In Korea, there are private delivery app operators that operate with intermediation fees of 2% or less, and the intention is to expand the market of private delivery apps with intermediation fees of 2% or less through collaboration between these companies and Gyeonggi Province and Gyeonggi Corporation.’,
,
, ‘According to the province, if private delivery apps with intermediation fees of 2% or less start using the Gyeonggi local currency payment system, not only will the effect of increasing sales for these private delivery apps be realized, but also the utilization of local currency will be activated. With the increase in sales of private delivery apps with intermediation fees of 2% or less, naturally, the use of these delivery apps will increase, which can alleviate the burden of high intermediary fees on small business owners.’,
,
, ‘In addition, selected private delivery app operators will have the opportunity to participate in social contribution activities for small business owners.’,
,
, ‘Seol Jong-jin, Head of Gyeonggi-do Business Promotion, said, “There is no budget for this partnership,” and added, “I hope this business will become a buffer for the unchanging intermediary fee rate between large delivery app platforms and franchisees, and furthermore, it will be the first step in lowering delivery app fees.”‘,
,
, ‘Private companies wishing to participate in the recruitment of Gyeonggi-do’s private-public partnership delivery app operators should apply through Gyeonggi-do Business Promotion and Business Policy Team by the 25th.’,
