Foodpanda Thailand: Important Platform Update

- Foodpanda no longer accepts new restaurant partners in Thailand
- Existing Foodpanda restaurants were migrated to GrabFood
- The Foodpanda app and website redirects to GrabFood

| Platform | Status in Thailand | Cities Covered | Restaurant Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| GrabFood | ✅ Active (Market Leader) | 50+ cities | |

| ShopeeFood | ✅ Active | Major cities | |
| Foodpanda | ❌ Exited (May 2025) | — | — |
How to Set Up GrabFood Integration in Thailand
Looking to list your restaurant on Thailand's leading delivery platform? Here's how to get started:
Step 1: Register as a GrabFood Restaurant Partner
Visit the GrabFood merchant portal and sign up for a business account. You'll need:

- Tax identification number (VAT registered)
- Bank account details for settlements
- Restaurant address and contact information
GrabFood typically reviews applications within 2-3 business days.
