Foodpanda Philippines expands to groceries, “essential” items
Some new partners include 7-Eleven.
Foodpanda users in the Philippines can now also order groceries and other essential items in the platform, the company said in a statement.
The platform added a "Shops" section on the app, partnering with retailers such as 7-Eleven. Users are instructed to enter their delivery address, choose a shop, and place their order.
The selected merchant will then prepare the items, and the courier will deliver them to the customer.
Real-time tracking of the delivery can be done through the app.
"In the Philippines, we know that comfort and convenience are king. That’s why with the launch of Shops, consumers now have the ability to take control of their time, effort, and money as the platform now officially offers a one-stop-shop of everything they need, from personal care, household items to other staples," Foodpanda head of grocery Paolo Biondi Te said.
"Shops provide foodpanda users more options and upgrades so they will never have to run out of everyday essentials. With this newly added service, we’re confident that this will bring delight and satisfaction to our customers who need easy access to their daily essentials, while providing elevated experiences to Filipinos' everyday lives," he added.
Foodpanda previously launched its grocery service in Hong Kong last February.
