At present, 40 percent of the orders are delivered by Foodpanda delivery services and the remaining 60 percent are delivered by restaurants which is a leap from December 2015 when only 25 percent of the orders were delivered by the company delivery services, the company said.

The company has raised $310 million so far, with the last round in 2015 bringing in $110 million from investors led by hedge fund Goldman Sachs Investment Partners.
