foodpanda leaves more panda prints with expansion, increasing its presence in cities nationwide

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 June 2019 - In 2019, foodpanda further proves its ex-panda-bility across six cities - Ipoh, Malacca, Seremban, Kuching, Miri and Kota Kinabalu - over the span of just six months. To-date, foodpanda has made its mark in over 80 cities in eight countries across Asia Pacific.

Part of Delivery Hero - the leading global business in online food delivery based in Berlin and operating in over 30 countries globally - foodpanda holds up their mission of bringing good food to Malaysians everyday with this expansion, which is the largest to date for the food delivery brand.

“We are pleased to have been able to reach so many more hungry Malaysians in the last 6 months alone. Our mission is to bring convenience and variety to our customers. We look forward to reaching even more Malaysians across new towns and cities in the next few months,” said Sayantan Das, Managing Director, foodpanda Malaysia

Delivery Hero SE has reportedly sustained a strong growth through successful deployment of investments, expansion of leadership and delivery capabilities and in the first quarter of the year alone, its revenue experienced a growth by 93% (267 euros) year-on-year on a constant currency basis. In the past year, Delivery Hero delivered more than 125 million orders globally, a 55% increase from 2017.

To date, foodpanda has increased its restaurant partners across Malaysia. Customers nationwide can enjoy a wide variety of food from their favourite restaurants including KFC, Pizza Hut, OLD TOWN White Coffee and Gong Cha.

He added “Our restaurant partners play a significant role in our success in Malaysia. In the past year, our key restaurant partners have grown by more than 200% on our platform and our goal for the rest of the year is to continue to help them grow and reach more Malaysians."

Additionally, Gong Cha lovers will be pleased to know that chocolate flavoured bubbles will be added to the menu in July and will exclusively be available on foodpanda before they hit the stores. foodpanda strives to look for innovative ways to bring added convenience that is affordable to more Malaysians and these achievements have come through in the year 2019.
