Hungry Hub, Thailand's leading restaurant booking platform, is pleased to announce its partnerships and integration with renowned industry leaders in the global restaurant and hotel booking sector.

The collaboration is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024 and will position Hungry Hub as the top destination for both Thai and international tourists.

Mr. Surasit Sachdev, CEO of Hungry Hub, announced this collaboration at the “Hungry Hub Red Table Awards 2023”: “This partnership marks a turning point for Hungry Hub and the Thai food industry, as the tourism sector has been difficult to penetrate, with offerings limited to a few renowned, award-winning restaurants, dinner cruises, or well-known street food stalls. This collaboration will create a wider selection of high-quality restaurants across various segments – from street food to fine dining – that are popular with our local customers and have already received over 250,000 reviews. Hungry Hub’s exclusive benefits will also help attract tourists.”

“Our mission is to make every meal an unforgettable experience. This collaboration brings us one step closer to our goal of developing Hungry Hub into the first port of call for tourists seeking exclusive culinary experiences,” said Mr. Surasit.

Hungry Hub currently partners with 1,400 restaurants across Thailand and has already processed over 3 million bookings. The average revenue per customer exceeds 1,000 baht. This year, Hungry Hub has generated over 700 million baht for its partner restaurants and hotels, supported by nearly 1 million monthly active users. The top customer in 2023 booked through Hungry Hub over 100 times, spending over 300,000 baht. One of Hungry Hub's main objectives for 2024 is to attract a new user segment – ​​tourists – whose share is projected to increase from the current 10% to 50% by the end of 2024. Key tourism markets that Hungry Hub will focus on include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea.

“Hungry Hub positions itself as the ultimate partner for international travelers in Thailand, offering them a wide selection of restaurants and hotels. The platform functions similarly to an online travel agency (OTA). Thanks to collaborations with leading global providers, Hungry Hub is ideally positioned to offer tourists an unforgettable experience. From buffets and afternoon tea to rooftop restaurants, riverside eateries, and local specialties, every guest will find the perfect option for their trip. At the same time, Hungry Hub helps restaurants increase their revenue by 20–30% compared to the period before the partnership. This benefit for our partners is based on Hungry Hub's large user base, strategic collaboration with our partners, comprehensive marketing tailored to the needs of both Thai and international guests, networking among businesses, restaurants, and hotels, knowledge sharing within the industry, contributing to sustainable revenue in the Thai restaurant and hotel sector, and continuously providing attractive offers and new promotions for our customers,” added Mr. Surasit.
