A tip to make dining out easier for caregivers

●    Pre-load the FairPrice Group app to pre-order meals from your table

Food courts and hawker centres can get very busy during mealtimes. It can be difficult to walk with an elderly parent using a walking frame or wheelchair through a crowded, cramped space. 

If you’re dining at a Kopitiam outlet, use the NTUC FairPrice Group app to order food from your table and be notified when it’s ready for collection. That way, you can let your loved one sit at the table while you go over and collect the food.

How it works: 

Open the FairPrice Group App on your phone, ensure you’ve linked their Linkpoints/Silver card profile, and select ‘Takeaway’ or ‘Having here’. 

You can browse menus, order from multiple stalls, pay digitally, and receive the 10% discount, all without leaving your parent alone or waiting in a queue.

Refer to this page for the step-by-step instructions and the full list of outlets.
