Food and grocery delivery service provider foodpanda has entered into a strategic partnership with ride-hailing platform TADA to introduce new user benefits for customers in Asia, starting with Singapore and Cambodia. foodpanda is also the subsidiary of Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed Delivery Hero.
As part of the partnership, both foodpanda and TADA users can enjoy savings, discounted fares and loyalty programme subscriptions across both quick-commerce and ride-hailing platforms.
From Apr 20, up to 30,000 TADA users in Singapore can opt in to receive a complimentary pandapro subscription which gives them easy access and cost savings to on-demand deliveries. foodpanda has more than one million pandapro subscribers across the region who have exclusive access to free deliveries, special pick-up offers, dine-in deals, and other discounts.
With this partnership, up to 30,000 pandapro subscribers in Singapore will automatically receive 25% discount vouchers capped at $4 in their TADA accounts which can be used for commuting in the city.
In addition, corporate customers of either foodpanda or TADA in Singapore can also utilise the combined food delivery and ride-hailing benefits through joint corporate bundles. foodpanda’s exclusive service for corporate customers, foodpanda for Business, which provides customisable employee allowances, e-vouchers, employee packages, and access to catering, will now include TADA’s corporate solution.
TADA Corporate is the solution for seamless business transport management. With TADA Corporate, companies can manage and streamline their teams' transportation needs for work trips. TADA’s Zero-Commission model also allows for greater cost savings without compromising on quality.
