Foodpanda Singapore is honouring its delivery partners this National Day with a series of initiatives, including $11,800 (S$16,000) in education bursaries, pound-for-pound tip matching, and expanded safety training. These efforts are part of the Riding Singapore Forward campaign, which aims to recognise the vital role delivery partners play in keeping the city moving.
From 8 to 10 August, foodpanda will match all in-app customer tips pound-for-pound, showing appreciation for the dedication of its delivery partners. Additionally, from 1 to 10 August, delivery partners collecting orders with two complimentary Coca-Cola cans from selected Food Republic outlets will receive a free Coca-Cola.
Bhavani Mishra, Managing Director of foodpanda Singapore, stated, “Singapore’s 60th birthday is a meaningful milestone to honour our delivery partners, who show up every day—rain or shine—to bring convenience and comfort to homes across the city.”
In recognition of exceptional service, foodpanda awarded 31 delivery partners and provided over 700 attendees with goodie bags containing safety essentials. The company is also expanding its safety training programme ahead of Rider Safety Month in September. The new intermediate courses will cover practical techniques, hazard management, and road confidence, tailored by vehicle type.
These initiatives are part of foodpanda’s regional flagship programme, panda hearts, which focuses on safety, well-being, personal development, community, and welfare perks for delivery partners across Asia. Benny Tan Teng Soon, a bursary recipient and mechanical engineering student, expressed gratitude, noting the bursary would ease financial pressures and allow him to focus on his studies.
