Friends who often order food delivery, your wallet will be bleeding again! The food delivery platform foodpanda has once again raised its platform fees. General users will be subject to the new rate from November 15, with an estimated average increase of 4 to 6 yuan per order; pandapro subscription members will adjust it from December 1, with an average increase of 2 to 4 yuan per order.

Foodpanda stated that in response to the relevant regulations of the "Delivery Workers' Rights and Interests Protection and Delivery Platform Management Act" and the continuous improvement of service quality and system operations, fees will be adjusted in stages starting from November 2026.

Foodpanda said that since July this year, it has continued to optimize its system and operating processes to actively implement the relevant regulations on the protection of the rights and interests of delivery workers and the Food Delivery Platform Management Act. At the same time, in order to maintain the stability and convenience of the food delivery service, it has comprehensively upgraded the overall service quality, so it has decided to appropriately adjust the platform fee. As for the purpose of the platform fee, foodpanda pointed out that it is mainly used to maintain system stability, daily operations, and ensure the security of cash flow transactions. The actual amount charged will be clearly marked on the checkout page for consumers to confirm before placing an order.

This adjustment will be implemented in two stages: general users and subscribed members. The adjustment time for pandapro members is half a month later than that for general users. When consumers order food through foodpanda in the future, in addition to the meal price and delivery fee, they can also pay attention to the platform fees displayed on the checkout page to understand the actual expenditure of each order.
