Established in 2009 as a pioneer of specialty coffee in Singapore, PPP Coffee now comprises two stores in Singapore (Chye Seng Huat Hardware and PPP Coffee at Funan) and one in Malaysia (PULP in Bangsar).
SINGAPORE, May 18 – It’s one thing adapting to the Covid-19 crisis when you’re running a café in one place; it’s quite a different headache when you operate multiple outlets in different countries.
When the pandemic hit, the company had to quickly adopt a takeaway-only concept at their cafés, given the restrictions of the “circuit breaker” in Singapore and Movement Control Order in Malaysia, and shift their retail business online. Their delivery vans used to deliver wholesale coffee but since the volume dropped, they are now redeployed for direct delivery for café operations.
Foo observes, “Our wholesale coffee side of the business has dropped significantly by 80 per cent but retail coffee through our website has gone up remarkably, both in Singapore and Malaysia.”
