foodpanda Philippines has distributed over P62 million in incentives to its Ka-panda delivery partners from March to May 2026 through nationwide add-on incentive quests aimed at boosting rider earnings and engagement.
The Ka-panda Motorcycle Quest allowed riders in Metro Manila and provincial areas to earn additional payouts by completing delivery milestones during the day. The program required no extra conditions beyond meeting target delivery volumes, enabling riders to participate while maintaining their regular delivery operations.
Around 95 percent of active riders participated and completed the quests, reflecting strong engagement across the company’s delivery network.
Ron Sanders, Rider Experience Lead, said the initiative is part of foodpanda’s ongoing efforts to provide flexible earning opportunities amid changing market conditions. “Since rolling out these add-on incentive quests in March, we’ve seen how these initiatives can help support our riders’ day-to-day operations while providing more flexible earning opportunities on the platform,” Sanders said.
Riders echoed the benefits, noting that the additional income helps cover fuel and household costs.
Hervie Agustin, a Ka-panda rider, acknowledged the assistance provided by foodpanda as a welcome helping hand during these difficult times. “Malaking tulong para sa amin na may dagdag incentives kasi may pandagdag sa pang-gas at pang-araw-araw na gastos,” he said.
Separately, foodpanda implemented a Double-Tipping campaign during Labor Day, matching customer tips exceeding P1.2 million peso-for-peso, resulting in P2.4 million in total rider payouts. Both initiatives are part of the Panda-Malasakit Project, consolidating programs aimed at supporting riders, customers, and merchant partners through incentive-driven and community-focused efforts.
foodpanda’s incentive programs highlight the growing importance of rider engagement and retention in the competitive food delivery market.
By offering flexible, milestone-based rewards and matching tips, the company not only increases rider satisfaction but also strengthens operational reliability. These measures may help reduce turnover and improve delivery efficiency, positioning foodpanda as a more attractive platform for delivery partners while maintaining service quality for customers.
