Foodpanda App for Android and iOS Gets Cashless Mobile Payment Option

Foodpanda, a Web service and app that lets users order food from different restaurants based on a user's location, has now been updated with new features, including the cashless mobile payment option via linked credit cards.

The Foodpanda app version 2.0.9 for Android and iOS brings the option of cashless mobile payment once users link their credit cards. The option is only available for those restaurants which support online payment. The upgrade also allows Foodpanda app users to reorder any previous order from the restaurants.

Some of the other improvements in the Foodpanda app update for Android and iOS include a reworked user interface, more number of restaurants, and overall performance improvements. The updated Foodpanda app is now available to download from Google Play and the App Store.

To recall, the Foodpanda app lets users browse and order through various restaurants and their menus available around the users' location. The app is currently available in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Georgia.

Last month, another popular restaurant-centric portal and app, Zomato, added a new feature to its arsenal in the form of Collections. The feature comes with popular restaurants across specific themes and trends at a particular location. So users can look at microbreweries in Delhi NCR, kick-ass burgers in Bangalore, pet-friendly joints in London or rooftop restaurants in Johannesburg.

"Having added a social layer to restaurant discovery, we wanted to go a step further and provide information that foodies want, but may not necessarily want to search for," stated Deepinder Goyal, co-founder and CEO, Zomato.
