Baemin Expands In-Person Payment Support for Livelihood Recovery Coupons

**Baemin Prominently Places 'Meet and Pay' for Livelihood Recovery Consumption Vouchers… A Green Light for Sales Growth for 200,000 Restaurant Businesses!** Baedal Minjok (Baemin) has completed preparations to revitalize the restaurant industry by significantly enhancing the convenience of using the government's Livelihood Recovery Consumption Vouchers. It announced that it would prominently place 'Meet and Pay,' a core function, on the app's main screen, enabling easy use of the consumption vouchers – which begin applications and issuance on the 21st – even for delivery orders. This reorganization is expected to significantly contribute to the sales growth of approximately 200,000 restaurant businesses partnered with Baemin. 'Meet and Pay' is a payment method available when ordering 'store delivery' on the Baemin app, helping customers conveniently use consumption vouchers at small business establishments within their residential local government's jurisdiction. Selecting this function within the app allows for easy payment through the merchant's own terminal, offering benefits to both customers and merchants. For customer convenience, Baemin will extensively revamp the app's screen for a certain period. Accessibility has been enhanced, allowing direct entry to the 'Meet and Pay' screen from both the main screen and the food delivery tab. Furthermore, usage instructions and precautions will be displayed on various sections within the app, and coupon usage conditions will be clearly guided at the cart and order stages, meticulously preparing to ensure customers can enjoy coupon benefits without confusion. Baemin had already provided prior information about the consumption vouchers through 'Baemin Restaurant Business Plaza,' its website for merchants, on the 8th, supporting merchants to prepare for the changes in advance. It is promoting successful coupon activation by providing essential information, such as usage methods and application requirements, which merchants might easily overlook. A Baemin official stated, "Through this function enhancement, we expect customers to use consumption vouchers more conveniently even when ordering delivery, and for the resulting consumption promotion effect to lead to increased sales for partner merchants, thus contributing to the revitalization of the local economy." The Livelihood Recovery Consumption Vouchers, which support up to 550,000 won per person, are a key government policy for the recovery of the sluggish domestic economy and balanced regional development, and Baemin's latest measure is expected to further boost their effectiveness.
