We found that office benefits can boost motivation significantly and offering food-based perks increases employee satisfaction.”
In principle, all staff working for fooddelivery.com will keep on working for foodpanda.

recording over 500% order growth in 2015. With the goal to consolidate its market leading position, the company has acquired and integrated other local food delivery players, Koziness and Dial a Dinner.
