Foodora surprises customers in Hungary with huge announcement

There’s a significant change in Foodora’s delivery system, that’s in effect from the 1st of November. To be exact, the company announced the considerable reducement of their delivery costs. In the beginning, these decreased prices will only affect Budapest, but they plan on expanding them outside of the city too.

Foodora announced a big price drop in delivery fees, with an average of 16% reduction. This way, the so far lowest delivery fee of HUF 599 will go even lower to HUF 399. Read more about shocking price changes HERE.

The cut will be limited at first, so that it only applies to Budapest. Zsolt Szauter, head of Marketing at Foodora commented on their costumer-centric approach to the inflation. “We at Foodora aim to help as many people as possible, by making food deliveries affordable, to have more time for the important things in life.”

The delivery fee price depends on the distance of the chosen restaurant. The further the restaurant, the higher the price. Consequently, the price drop will be the most noticeable in close distances. According to the Foodora zones, most orders are in a maximum of 3 kilometer distance from the chosen restaurant. This is why they tried to make the changes affect these distances the most.

When measured, the busiest districts with the most orders coming in are the 11th, 13th and 14th, although the 3rd and 9th districts also get an honorable mention.

“We hope, that with this step, our partner restaurants may be able to generate back some of their business, this way compensating for the costumers lost due to the recession.” Read more about the financial situation in Hungary HERE.

They hope this solution will be a win-win situation for both costumers and restaurants.
Zsolt Szauter added that Foodora plans to expand the delivery fee reducement outside the capital by 2024.
