Grow Your Restaurant Business with Fastwaka
Thinking of listing your restaurant or food store on Fastwaka? Here is exactly what the platform offers vendors and why more businesses are joining every week.
Running a restaurant or food business in Metro Manila is rewarding, but reaching new customers in a city this large and fragmented is genuinely difficult. You might have extraordinary food and a loyal base of regulars, but the challenge of growing beyond your existing circle is real.
Fastwaka was built, in part, to solve that problem. Our platform connects hungry customers with great food vendors, and every business that lists on Fastwaka gains immediate visibility with an active, food-motivated audience that is already looking for what you sell.
Why Join Fastwaka as a Vendor?
Reach More Customers Every Day
Fastwaka has a growing base of daily active users in Metro Manila who use the platform to discover new restaurants and reorder from their favorites. When you list on Fastwaka, your store appears in search results, cuisine category pages, and the curated featured section that rotates on the homepage. The platform does the discovery work so you can focus entirely on the food.
No Upfront Cost to Join
There is no fee to list your business on Fastwaka. We operate on a commission-based model, which means we only earn when you earn. This makes joining completely risk-free for businesses of every size, from home-based food operations to established restaurants with multiple locations.
Your Own Branded Store Page
Every vendor on Fastwaka gets a dedicated store page with your logo, banner photo, full menu with item images, pricing, operating hours, and customer reviews. It is a complete online presence for your business without having to build or maintain a website. Many of our vendor partners link directly to their Fastwaka store page from their social media profiles and use it as their primary online ordering system.
Built-In Promotion Tools
Fastwaka gives vendors access to campaign tools that let you run time-limited discounts, create bundle deals, and apply to be featured as a highlighted store on the homepage and category pages. Vendors who run active promotions consistently see a significant lift in orders during the campaign period, including orders from new customers who discover the store through the promotion.
A Dedicated Rider Network
When you join Fastwaka, you also gain access to our growing network of trained delivery riders covering Metro Manila. You do not need to hire your own delivery staff or manage logistics. Our rider network handles pickup and delivery, and our dispatch system is designed to minimize wait times between order acceptance and rider arrival at your store.
