Most restaurants now charging RM5.99 per delivery. One restaurant that I patronize was charging RM0.99 now increased to RM3.99.

Why the reason for increasing, it is up to the restaurant or Food Panda?

Not sure because of losses or they want to capitalize on the meteoric rise of FoodPanda orders.

Now not only you have high delivery fees, but there is also 'busy' period that the fees are even higher than usual (if restaurant busy etc..)

The way I see it, they're trying to make as much $$$ as possible.

If I don't use a voucher (or voucher finished) I refuse to order.

So there are days I really want to order but no more voucher, I couldn't be bothered. Why pay more.

Well i think getting food from foodpanda riders are even more risky since they touch lots of customer's packages (plastic bags) in a day.

Not to mention they meet more ppl face to face too.

But its really up to you to gauge which method is safer.

it is like this. usually delivery RM3.99, when they give you promo code like jommakan, they will increase the delivery fee to 5.99

Why not use PandaPro? Its open to everyone rite? RM15 per month unlimited free delivery for orders over RM20. Plus multiple restaurants have 15% to 40% discount. Save alot and can recoup the cost over just 2 orders.

And very likely the govt twist the arms of FP and GRAB to pay their riders better so that there won't be riot.

These days some FP riders can even tell their customers to keep the coins pulak. whistling.gif

Not unlimited, only 12 free deliveries.

Also, the FoodPanda app isn't so smart, my order already got free delivery once I reach a certain amount, then the app still deduct my free delivery voucher. Had to reach out to customer service to get back my voucher.

Most restaurants now charging RM5.99 per delivery. One restaurant that I patronize was charging RM0.99 now increased to RM3.99.

Why the reason for increasing, it is up to the restaurant or Food Panda?

Some places in Penang yiu go order delivery is rm8.99 while grab same location charging rm5


Also they changed Panda Pro frm unlimited delivery over rm25 to 12x only. I even email ask them last month they promised no such changed after I show them the email I receive. Panda is now plain BS. I likely cancelling my subs at end of month
