You may already be promoting your restaurant on social media, introducing new menu items or running special offers. But getting people interested is only part of the challenge. The next step is encouraging them to actually visit.
What if your restaurant could become part of an ecosystem that connects you with more potential diners?
That’s where iBelanja comes in.
Who Can Become an iBelanja Merchant?
Whether you operate a neighbourhood café, a family restaurant or an established dining brand, iBelanja offers an opportunity to connect with Consumers and Partners through its growing ecosystem.
The Merchant Programme is designed for F&B businesses looking to:
- Reach More Potential Diners: Introduce your restaurant to Consumers beyond your usual walk-in crowd.
- Increase Restaurant Visibility: Showcase your food, atmosphere and dining experiences through another platform beyond your existing marketing channels.
- Connect with Consumers Ready to Dine: Reach people actively exploring participating Merchants and looking for places to use their available Consumption Entitlement (CE).
- Expand Customer Connections: Become part of an ecosystem where Partners can introduce new Consumers to your restaurant.
You don’t need to operate a large restaurant chain to explore joining iBelanja. Independent cafés, local eateries and established restaurant brands can all be considered, subject to the applicable Merchant requirements.
Where Are We Looking for Merchants?
iBelanja is currently focusing on expanding its Merchant Network across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, where Consumers can discover a variety of participating restaurants and cafés.
From neighbourhood eateries to popular dining destinations, we aim to bring different F&B experiences together on one platform.
While Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are our current focus, iBelanja plans to gradually expand into other areas, connecting more local businesses and Consumers as the ecosystem grows.
Whether your restaurant is located in a busy commercial district or a neighbourhood community, becoming part of iBelanja offers another way for diners to discover your business.
What Do You Need to Become an iBelanja Merchant?

1. Operate an F&B Business
Your business should be an operating restaurant, café or other eligible F&B establishment that provides dining products or services to customers.

As an iBelanja Merchant, your restaurant becomes part of a platform connecting Consumers, Partners and Merchants.
Here’s how the ecosystem works:
- Consumers: Discover participating restaurants and use their available CE for eligible purchases.
