Subscribe to Food launches in Singapore

Just launched in Singapore, Subscribe to Food is an e-commerce subscription service that offers food and wine products for consumers.

Upon launch, the service acquired e-commerce start-ups The Frank Food Company and WineMasons.

Philip Raff, who is also executive director of Velocity Property Group, out of Australia, led the investment group and acquisition of the two companies.

“We believe that through e-commerce, modern logistics via our partner Yojee, and a commitment to a subscription model, even city folks can access premium, fresh, small-batch food and wine,” says Raff. “It’s all about cutting out the middleman and paying a decent price that takes into account the effort and expertise that goes into food production.”

Subscribe to Food first acquired The Frank Food Company, which focusses on supporting regional farmers practising sustainability, fair-trade and organics, mainly in Indonesia. Its co-founders, brothers Liam and Duncan McCance, took up roles as CEO and food/content director respectively.

WineMasons was set up by Matt Allanson and Josh Sims and has focussed on Australian small-batch wine producers, with a Singapore subscription commerce offering.

After Subscribe to Food moves its newly acquired businesses to a shared e-commerce and logistics platform, it plans to launch a third brand focussed on premium beef from farmers in Tasmania.
