This means almost a third of privately owned coffee shops will have such meals by then.
Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling , joined by Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann, pasting decals on a stall at a coffee shop run by private chain operator Chang Cheng.
Budget meals are defined as lunch or dinner options that are typically priced at $3.50 and below, and drinks priced at $1.20 and below. Under the initiative, all rental HDB coffee shops that renewed their tenancies from May 2023 have been required to offer at least four budget meals and two budget drink options.
Responding to questions on these issues, Ms Sim said: “When we have feedback concerning the portion of the food available, and the nutritional balance, we work with operators and stallholders... so far they have been quite responsive to feedback and quite cooperative, and adjustments have been able to be made relatively quickly.”
“This is why when HDB onboards coffee shops that offer budget meals, there is a 5 per cent rebate that is given to the operator, which is then shared with the stallholders who participate in the scheme.”
