In just three years, Foodpanda Malaysia has expanded its offer from 40 restaurants to more than 700.

The online restaurant food delivery service this month markets its third birthday, with country manager of Foodpanda Malaysia, Sidney Ng, reflecting on how the business launched with just 40 restaurants operating in the Klang Valley, home to capital Kuala Lumpur..

Now Ng says the network is larger than 700 and covers most major cities in the country, including Johor Bahru, Penang, Ipoh and Melaka.

“Foodpanda Malaysia has come a long way,” said Ng.

“From just taking orders via our website, progressing to a mobile friendly site and finally developing a mobile application.

“We recognise modern consumers are moving towards mobile technology and we want to make ordering food as seamless as just a few taps on our app. We will also be launching a new version of our app very soon that will simplify the order process.”

Foodpanda Malaysia has plans to expand its current delivery zones within the Klang Valley and to launch operations in Kota Kinabalu. It also plans to add more restaurants and to further develop its website, mobile application and overall operations.

“We treasure our partnership with Foodpanda – they have definitely improved with leap and bounds in terms of both number of orders and operation efficiency since they started,” says Billie, the owner of Puzzini Pizza – one of Foodpanda’s early restaurants.

Foodpanda Group is the leading global food delivery marketplace, active in 39 countries in five continents.
