FoodPanda is one of the popular online food delivery services in the country. During the pandemic, the platform might have been busier than ever since everyone is staying home. According to the source, FoodPanda has been seen testing to implement a new shipping rate that varies according to how busy the area is at particular locations.

The food delivery app will display a pop-up to notify the price change before users placing the orders. It reads that "the delivery fee is higher than usual. You'll see a lower fee when it gets less busy". Many of you must have seen a similar message on e-hailing apps as well during peak hours.

At the moment, the price change has not been implemented nationwide yet, but it's possible for FoodPanda to introduce it to more areas in the future. Earlier, Grab had also tested a feature that allows users to prioritize their deliveries but, of course, requires an additional cost.
