I parked the article here instead of creating a new thread coz personally, I find it it time-consuming to scroll thru' the numerous existing threads. If the mods feel otherwise, pls feel free to adjust my post accordingly. Thx.
While I am not a user of food delivery apps/companies, I decided to test it out for my own learning purposes. Findings :
1. Deliveroo - delivery fee abt $4.50
2. Food Panda - delivery fees abt $2
3. GrabFood - need to download app, but according to website, the delivery fees range from $3-$5.
Pls note that I just tested using 1 or 2 scenarios so my findings may not be completely accurate.
Given the charges(revenue) vs operating costs, I think it's not easy for these companies to sustain their existing business model.

Food Delivery Riders (2019) – How Much Can You Make as a GrabFood, Foodpanda or Deliveroo rider?
May 21, 2019
Forget about giving tuition or waiting tables. These days, the part-time job of choice is being food delivery riders. It involves plying Singapore’s roads, ferrying food or passengers to their destinations. It’s easy to see why this kind of driver job in Singapore is so popular right now.......
.....Deliveroo rider pay
The amount you can earn per delivery is indicated on the app, usually about $6 to $10 ($3 pick-up fee, $2 delivery fee, $X variable distance fee, plus incentives during peak times).
You can earn $1 to $2 more during peak hours between 11am to 2pm and 5pm to 9pm, and in certain locations. You are also entitled to tips. Generally, delivering in the CBD earns you more tips than suburban areas.
There is also a minimum total delivery fee, which is set each month based on customer demand. The current minimum total delivery fee as of 21 May 2019 is $5 per delivery.
Motorcycle riders can also make claims for ERP, petrol and parking. There’s also $1 extra for motorcycle riders.
Deliveroo also offers a $200 bonus for referring new riders, which is equivalent to making 40 deliveries, so make use of it if you have friends who’re interested......
....Foodpanda rider pay
You pay will be split into two components. Motorcycle delivery riders can expect to earn a basic hourly pay of about $9, or $9.50 for those riding in the CBD, with an additional $5 for commission for every weekday delivery made, or $7 on weekends. You can also claim for parking charges and ERP costs incurred.
Currently, Foodpanda is offering $550 sign-up bonus, which you will get if you:
- Achieve Quest incentives – $300
- Are referred by a friend – $250
.........
....GrabFood rider pay
You are paid on a per-delivery basis, the price of the delivery being displayed on the app. The base fee is $5 per trip, and surcharges will be added to that fee depending on the location and time. Grabfood has Zone Booster Incentives where you can earn up to $3.50 per trip on top of base fares and Quest Incentives, where if you complete a certain number of trips, you get varying incentives. Check out GrabFood’s incentive page for the latest incentives.
All things considered, expect to make about $6 to $10.50 per delivery. You also have the chance to earn incentives if you manage to hit trip targets during certain periods (eg. 70 trips on weekdays within a week, or 45 trips during the weekend) You can also make claims for ERP charges........
