OpenRice now delivering in Hong Kong: city’s favourite restaurant review app extends partnership with delivery service foodpanda
Life just got even easier for armchair food critics in Asia’s world city as restaurant review platform OpenRice Hong Kong has partnered with food delivery firm foodpanda so that users can order directly from its app.
The two parties have similar agreements elsewhere but believe the combination of being able to read reviews on-mobile, glance through photos of menus, dishes and interiors, and then order a delivery cannot fail in workaholic Hong Kong, where disposable incomes are high and free time often limited.
The strategic partnership with OpenRice has begun in other markets in Asia and now it’s finally in Hong Kong,” said Alexander Roth, managing director of foodpanda in Hong Kong.
“We hope to provide an enhanced consumer experience by leveraging the strengths of both platforms in this partnership.”
Founded in 1999, OpenRice now lists 80,000 restaurants and more than 850,000 reviews generated by 1.4 million citizen reviewers. Since it got started in Hong Kong, OpenRice has expanded to seven other countries and territories.
