FoodPanda launches third party food delivery service in 7 cities

Rocket Internet owned FoodPanda has officially announced food delivery service across major cities in India including Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. As part of the development, restaurants can use FoodPanda delivery service even for the orders which have not come through FoodPanda channel.

In the initial phase of the program, the brand has more than 500 partner restaurants on board and the number is expected to reach around 1500 in the next three months. The restaurants would be charged on per order basis.

Saurabh Kochhar, CEO, FoodPanda India, "We have rigorously invested into the technology to make the delivery experience seamless for the users. Now with our new delivery product offering, we intend to be a significant support system for our partners by easing the hassle of delivery for them and extend best-in-class service levels to more customers; furthering our resolve to change the way India eats!”

Another player in the space, Zomato too had announced that it would launch its food delivery service in March, but has since delayed the launch. Recently,  Uber also launched its on-demand food delivery app UberEATS. Its services are currently available in Mumbai with plans to launch in six cities by the end of this year.
