Taipei, Taiwan – September 9, 2024
Foodpanda, the leading online food delivery platform in Taiwan, has announced an extended promotion offering unlimited free delivery for lunch orders across eight major cities. The initiative, initially set to run from September 2 to September 7, has been extended for an additional five days, making it available until September 13.
This special promotion is exclusively available during the lunchtime period from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It applies to customers in Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Keelung, Taichung, Changhua County, Changhua City, and Kaohsiung City. During this time, customers can enjoy unlimited free delivery on their lunch orders without any additional charges.
In addition to the free delivery service, Foodpanda is also offering a 69% discount on takeout orders within the same time frame and regions. This discount is available only to specified users in the designated areas, and it is subject to availability and limited to the duration of the promotion.
The decision to extend the promotion comes as a response to the overwhelming positive reception from customers. Many have taken advantage of the free delivery service, with some even utilizing it in conjunction with other popular delivery platforms like Uber Eats. This dual-platform strategy has become a common practice among cost-conscious consumers looking to save money on their meals.
Foodpanda’s move to extend the promotion is part of its ongoing efforts to attract new customers and retain existing ones. The company has been actively competing with other delivery platforms in the market, including local players like Foodomo and international giants such as McDonald’s and Pizza Hut.
The extended promotion is expected to boost Foodpanda’s market share in the Taiwan food delivery market, which is currently dominated by Foodpanda and Uber Eats. The two companies have been rumored to be in talks for a potential merger, with Uber Eats announcing plans to acquire Foodpanda’s Taiwan operations for $950 million USD back in May 2024. The acquisition is currently awaiting approval from regulatory authorities and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.
Despite the potential merger, there are concerns about the combined market share of Foodpanda and Uber Eats, which could potentially lead to antitrust investigations by the Fair Trade Commission. However, the Taiwanese food delivery market is still relatively fragmented, with several other players vying for market share, including local brands and international franchises.
For those living in the eight designated cities, the extended promotion is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch without worrying about delivery fees. With the promotion running from September 9 to September 13, food enthusiasts are encouraged to take advantage of the offer during the lunchtime hours of 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
As the promotion continues, Foodpanda remains committed to providing its customers with the best possible service and value. The company’s efforts to expand its market share and enhance customer satisfaction are likely to pay off, as more people discover the convenience and affordability of ordering food delivery through Foodpanda.
