MANILA, Philippines—In an initiative put forth to start the year online food delivery marketplace, foodpanda, has partnered with Robinsons and Waltermart Malls to launch Rider Lounges, designed as a space for the company’s rider partners to rest and regroup as they wait for customers to book their services.

The initiative aims to help driver-partners to more effectively and easily pick up orders from foodpanda’s partner merchants in the said malls. Aside from benches and stools where the riders can sit comfortably, there are also designated stations for sanitization, charging devices, and water refilling.
