foodpanda Philippines introduced nationwide, incentivized add-on quests to supplement its existing incentive program. From March to May 2026, it provided over PHP 62 million in support incentives to its Ka-panda delivery partners. The Ka-panda Motorcycle Quest enabled riders in Metro Manila and provincial areas to earn extra payouts by reaching delivery milestones throughout the day. These quests required no additional requirements other than completing the target number of orders, encouraging more riders to participate while continuing their regular deliveries.

foodpanda reported high engagement, with approximately 95 percent of active riders completing the quests.
Ron Sanders, Rider Experience Lead at foodpanda Philippines, explained that in addition to the add-on incentives, foodpanda frequently introduces weekly quests. These quests let riders earn extra rewards by achieving a specific delivery target within a designated timeframe while also adhering to platform standards such as acceptance rate and attendance.
Sanders stated that the initiative demonstrates the company’s ongoing dedication to supporting its delivery partner community amidst evolving market conditions.
“Since rolling out these add-on incentive quests in March, we’ve seen how these initiatives can help support our riders’ day-to-day operations while providing more flexible earning opportunities on the platform,” Sanders said.
For Ka-panda delivery partner Hervie Agustin, the incentives made it easier to cover daily expenses.
“Malaking tulong para sa amin na may dagdag incentives kasi may pandagdag sa pang-gas at pang-araw-araw na gastos. Kahit simpleng extra income lang, malaking bagay na rin iyon para sa pamilya,” Agustin shared.
Beyond the add-on incentive quests, foodpanda introduced other initiatives aimed at riders. During its nationwide Double-Tipping campaign on Labor Day, customers gave over PHP 1.2 million in in-app tips to Ka-panda riders, which foodpanda matched peso-for-peso, totaling P2.4 million in rider payouts.
These initiatives are part of foodpanda’s Panda-Malasakit Project, a comprehensive effort that combines programs aimed at supporting riders, customers, and partners through valuable earning opportunities and community-focused initiatives across the platform.
