This Rocket Internet Initiative is known as FoodPanda in some countries or as Hellofood in some others. It is also as foodalia, foodnation, hungrypanda and pidiendo. Whatever name you know it by, it is now present in 23 countries and counting…….
FoodPanda is a Rocket Internet-backed online platform for aggregating and delivering food from take-out restaurants. It aims to bridge the gap between restaurants and Internet-users by offering its visitors a selection of different types of foods which they can purchase and have delivered with the click of a button.
