Foodpanda Singapore Guide (2020): Promo Codes, Delivery Fees and More

Foodpanda Singapore Guide (2020): Promo Codes, Delivery Fees and More

Foodpanda is probably the most popular food delivery service app in Singapore after Grabfood. The Panda mascot and that unmistakable shade of pink can be spotted from a mile away.

As GrabFood’s biggest rival, Foodpanda offers a similar selection of affordable options, with a focus on fast food, affordable chain restaurants and local eateries. This has proven a hit with Singapore users, who mostly just want to order a cheap meal after work so they can save themselves a trip to the neighbourhood hawker centre.

Foodpanda food delivery restaurants

Foodpanda focuses mainly on affordable eateries, with lots of local selections and some fastfood options. They’ve got quite a few chains like Pizza Hut, Mr Bean and MOS Burger on their list, as well as some fancier options, especially in expensive areas like the CBD.

Here’s a selection of what’s available.

  • CBD – Whether you’re a corporate shark or a struggling rookie, there are selections for every budget, including Screening Room, Aroy-Dee Thai Kitchen, Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Noodle, Sha Alam Restaurant and Cedele.
  • Bishan – In this busy residential area, options include PastaMania, MOS Burger, Sakae Sushi, Veggie Doji and The Roti Prata House.
  • Punggol – Live here and can’t cook? Then you probably need to rely on food delivery, since the hawker centre offerings in Punggol are not great. Choose from eateries such as Monster Curry, Punggol Economy Rice, Soup Spoon, Bali Thai and Crystal Jade Go.

Foodpanda food delivery fees

Foodpanda’s delivery fees vary from restaurant to restaurant, and can range from $0 to $5, depending on factors like distance and availability of riders.

 

Foodpanda Panda Plus subscription plan

Foodpanda very recently launched their Panda Plus subscription plans, but they seem to still be in the beta phase. I tried signing up for it, but couldn’t.

How convenient during circuit breaker…

Anyway, if you look past that, Foodpanda’s subscription plans are actually quite good. They’re the first delivery service in Singapore to launch a plan with multiple tiers, as follows:

Foodpanda subscription plan Price What you get
Light eater $3.99 monthly 5 free deliveries
Food lover $7.99 monthly 15 free deliveries
Ultimate foodie  $9.99 monthly 50 free deliveries, exclusive discounts and priority delivery

At $9.99 / month for 50 free deliveries, Foodpanda’s Ultimate Foodie plan is on par with GrabFood’s subscription service (which also seems no longer available during this period). Additionally, Panda Plus is a lot more affordable than Deliveroo Plus, which costs $14.90 a month for unlimited deliveries.

As the only food delivery company to offer cheaper plans for light users, Panda Plus is delving into an untapped market segment of casual users. It’s probably only a matter of time before their competitors follow suit, but for now, these plans are the most affordable for those who order food just a few times a month or week.

 

Pandamart and Pandanow – Foodpanda grocery delivery service

If you’ve told yourself you’ll quit ordering food delivery and start cooking at home, guess what, Foodpanda has now expanded into grocery delivery with Pandamart.

You can browse the list of products available in your area online or via the app, order whatever you want and then wait for your items to be delivered. Delivery fees start from $2.99.

To take things one step further, Pandanow lets you order on-demand groceries and household goods around the clock, 24/7. Because Pandanow offers are dispatched from Foodpanda’s own warehouse rather than the supermarkets themselves, the selection isn’t as wide, but delivery arrives in 15 minutes on average rather than the 25 minute average of Pandamart deliveries.
