BIZ BUZZ: Midnight munchies pay off

Filipinos’ appetite for food delivery apparently does not clock out after dinner.

Foodpanda Philippines said burgers account for 25.3 percent of its deliveries between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

Overall orders, meanwhile, typically peak at around 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with Saturday emerging as the busiest day of the week.

EastWest Bank is looking to cash in on these ordering habits through its Foodpanda Visa credit card, which offers up to 10 percent cashback on Foodpanda purchases.

Online payments already make up 49 percent of orders on the delivery platform.

The cashback is credited weekly to the cardholder’s PandaPay wallet and can be used for future orders.

Cardholders can also earn 1 percent cashback on international purchases and 0.3 percent on spending such as groceries, fuel, transportation and shopping.

The card also comes with a complimentary six-month PandaPro subscription and a waived annual membership fee for the first year.
