Muuve is a food ordering and delivery service platform which was founded in 2018 by Cambodian entrepreneurs Panh Phanith (Muuve's CEO) and Chhoun Vathanak (Head of Business Development). “We wanted to provide consumers with a new type of food delivery service. We value customer service and offer convenient features in our app such as the ability to pinpoint on a map where you would like your food delivered. In a city like Phnom Penh where addresses are hard to find, we have noticed that consumers really appreciate small details like this,” said Panh.
