Online food and grocery delivery platform foodpanda has launched in two more areas in Pampanga, including Magalang and Apalit.
With this latest move, customers in these areas can now access foodpanda’s wide range of services, including food delivery and pick-up.
A representative of foodpanda Philippines explained that these locations were selected in response to increasing demand from customers and merchants. “We’ve observed that residents and visitors in these areas have already been opening the app but unable to order because we’re not yet present there,” he noted.
In the same way, many merchants who have partnered with foodpanda have experienced significant growth in their business. “On the restaurant side, our existing partner vendors are often requesting if we can also be present in areas where they have other branches, because for these vendors, they usually utilize foodpanda as a marketing tool and revenue stream,” the company added.
Additionally, their delivery service provider Delivery Hero Logistics Philippines, Inc. (DHLPI) also partners with freelancer riders to offer four types of delivery options including motorcycles, bicycles, e-scooters, and walkers. “These transport modes allow for efficient deliveries, providing flexible earning opportunities for the local driver community.”
With its expansion, foodpanda is also adding to its operations more areas in Dagupan, Batangas, Nueva Vizcaya, and Cebu.
foodpanda emphasized that the company continues to assess the needs of different regions, cities, and municipalities to identify expansion opportunities. “We aim to bring fast and convenient delivery services to areas where there is a growing demand from customers and merchants,” he said.
