most establishments here don't care if they don't have a website because they are making money anyway. just look at dirty restaurants with lots of people eating everyday. lol!

It's a question of supply and demand. Supermarkets in Macau except for few are very localised and not geared towards western customers so online ordering is far-fetch. Influx of westerners have just been happening for the last two years and I guessed it's taken Macau by surprise, hence the slow reaction to many consumer-based businesses.

"Be the change you want to see"

Instead of providing supposedly cheaper service (no rent, utilities charges, etc), online supermarket in Macau would be far more expensive, than a conventional one. The reason? No-one would do a delivery job these days for the good al' times salary.

Another problem is that, besides expats, nobody from local residents would be interested in using the service. It's a cultural thing. Locals prefer to buy fresh products daily and make sure they are fresh by choosing themselves. They don't have a habit of a weekend shopping when you take your car and fill up the trunk with canned and frozen foods and that sort of stuff.

Yet another reason, many local families rely on their grandmothers to buy the products and cook big family dinners. Needless to say, Chinese grandmothers simply love going to the wet markets and groceries as it is also their favourite hotspot for social gatherings.

And expats themselves ... all of the better-off ones use Filipina maids who would readily escape from the watchful eye of their bosses for couple of hours of a daily street walk and chat with the friends.

Not really simple

2 online merchants based in Macao I know of today:
www.nataworld.com : for bread, pastry etc
www.doubibou.com : for baby stuff (nappies, baby carriers) cosmetics, toys etc etc
