OpenRice + Equinix + HKBN to Fuel Post-Pandemic Business Growth and Footprint Expansion
Robust digital infrastructure and solutions to drive seamless online-to-offline dining experiences in APAC
|
We teamed up with Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world’s digital infrastructure company™, to further enhance infrastructure for OpenRice, Hong Kong’s most popular dining platform, and its all-encompassing O2O foodtech services platform. Our collaboration allows OpenRice to further support the food and beverage (F&B) industry in Hong Kong as restaurants embrace the increasing importance of delivering seamless online-to-offline (O2O) consumer experiences – and ride the post-pandemic growth wave.
Leveraging Equinix’s global footprint and robust ecosystem, along with HKBN’s integrated digital solutions and connectivity services, we’re paving the way for OpenRice’s Booking Service to further expand into other Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets beyond Hong Kong, including Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Japan, supporting F&B companies to grow their business by offering seamless and enjoyable O2O dining experiences to customers.

“Equinix and HKBN have provided a robust digital infrastructure for us to architect digital solutions that work across our extensive portfolio of services and user base in Hong Kong and the wider APAC region. In the new era of dining, it’s critical for us to adopt these future-proof digital infrastructures and continuously upgrade to support our rapidly expanding services and offerings, so that we can continue raising the bar in providing dining experiences for consumers,”
Joe Yau, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer at OpenRice
|
“With Equinix’s award-winning reputation, sweeping global presence, and rich ecosystem, we are confident that our win-win-win collaboration will help OpenRice strengthen its technical capabilities and business agility, as well as enhance its customer experiences when serving the larger Asia market of collaborators, making them the ideal partner to bring next-level solutions to customers.”
Almira Chan, our Co-Owner and Chief Strategy Officer

“The online behavior of consumers has shifted due to the pandemic. Businesses of all industries need to embrace a digital-first approach that closes performance gaps, accelerates returns and supports the new way of operations. We are excited to champion far-sighted digital leaders like OpenRice to fast-track their digital transformation journey to prepare for the opportunities presently ahead in the post-pandemic era. We are also proud to collaborate with Hong Kong’s leading telecom and technology solutions provider, HKBN, to deliver greater value.”
