Available through the Seoul Pay+ app with a monthly purchase limit of 200,000 won (about $133); an additional 5% cashback applies on qualifying payments
The initiative aims to ease the burden on small business owners and boost local consumption through the public food delivery platform
Gwangjin-gu in Seoul is issuing the "June 2026 Gwangjin Ddangyeoyo Delivery-Only Gift Voucher" to ease operating costs for local small business owners and expand dining and delivery benefits for residents through the public online food delivery platform.
The vouchers go on sale June 4 at 10 a.m., with a total issuance of 300 million won ($216,000). They can be purchased through the Seoul Pay+ mobile app at a 15% discount, allowing consumers to order through the delivery app at a lower effective price. Individual purchases are capped at 200,000 won per month, with a maximum holding limit of 1 million won, and vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase.
The vouchers are redeemable at Gwangjin-gu restaurants registered on the public delivery app Ddangyeoyo. A key feature of the program is its link to Ddangyeoyo's lower commission structure compared with private delivery platforms, which is designed to reduce fee burdens on small business owners and support stable sales.
Alongside the discount, Gwangjin-gu is also running a cashback promotion. Customers who pay with Seoul Love Gift Vouchers — including district-level, Ddangyeoyo, or metropolitan vouchers — on the Ddangyeoyo app will receive 5% cashback in the form of Ddangyeoyo vouchers. The cashback runs until the budget is exhausted, with payouts scheduled for July 20.
Gwangjin-gu is working to build a community-oriented consumption environment where both residents and small business owners benefit from greater use of the public delivery platform. As dining costs and delivery fees rise, the district is expanding programs that give residents tangible savings while channeling local spending back into small business sales.
The district is also continuing to recruit more local restaurants onto the public delivery platform, aiming to expand online sales channels for small business owners and create a more stable operating environment. The effort is expected to contribute not only to local economic vitality but also to establishing a healthier, public-centered delivery culture.
"The Gwangjin Ddangyeoyo delivery-only gift voucher is a community support policy that eases the cost-of-living burden on residents while helping local small business owners grow their sales," a district official said. "We will continue to pursue a range of local economic revitalization policies that both residents and small business owners can feel the benefit of."
Inquiries about the voucher issuance can be directed to the Gwangjin-gu Office's Local Economy Division; questions about purchases should go to the Ddangyeoyo customer service center.
