      <description>What happens when the author of a bestselling memoir about working as a courier in mainland China, and a Hong Kong videographer who moonlights as a food delivery rider, meet?
They do not immediately launch into a philosophical discussion about art and labour. Instead, they compare different vehicles’ battery lifespans, the daily distances they travel, and the risk of traffic accidents on the job.
“It’s very common in [mainland] China,” Hu Anyan says. “And especially so with food delivery,...</description>

      <description>At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, sales director Sabir Ansari relied on Deliveroo almost daily for burgers and pasta delivered to his door in Singapore.
Over time, the 31-year-old said, it became harder to justify the service’s costs as rival platforms such as Grab and Foodpanda offered more food options and aggressive promotions that made “delivery fees way cheaper”.
“It was a no-brainer,” he said.
For Deliveroo, that kind of calculation among consumers became increasingly...</description>

      <description>As one of the world’s freest economies, Hong Kong knows that fair competition brings better quality, prices and choices. But for consumers and businesses, they care more about good deals and profits rather than whether the market environment is a level playing field. That is why individual industries can still be tainted by antitrust behaviour.
Credit goes to the Competition Commission for curbing what appears to be an abuse of market power in the online food delivery service. Following...</description>

      <description>Foodpanda aims to bolster its position in the Hong Kong market in the first half of next year, following a 20 per cent rise in both the number of orders placed and the amount customers spent during the first 10 months of this year.
The on-demand food and grocery delivery platform on Wednesday also said that the sector’s prospects were strong, asserting that the city offered ample room for further growth.

      <description>Hongkongers could see cheaper meals and a healthier food delivery market after the city’s antitrust watchdog stepped in to curb unfair practices by a dominant platform, according to restaurant operators.
They said on Thursday that Keeta’s pledge to lift restrictions on partnering restaurants would allow them to lower prices and foster more competition, all while benefiting consumers and businesses.
Aman Kwok, the second-generation owner of the 50-seat Kam Shing Restaurant in Shau Kei Wan, said...</description>

      <description>A Hong Kong court has ordered on-demand food delivery platform Foodpanda to pay more than HK$1.3 million (US$167,000) in compensation to a worker who injured himself during a tropical storm five years ago, ruling that the company failed to ensure the employee’s safety in extreme weather.
The High Court on Wednesday ruled in favour of Farooq Ahmed Khan after finding his former employer had exposed him to an unnecessary risk of injury due to the absence of a safe working protocol.
Khan, 53, was...</description>

      <description>While the hurricane-force winds and torrential rains of Typhoon Wipha battered Hong Kong on Sunday, some continued to work, and many restaurants remained open, supported by limited rail services.
Among the restaurants that operated as usual was Chung Kee congee shop in Whampoa, as the operator said it did not expect the typhoon would escalate to a No 10 level.
“Originally, we thought it would be just a No 8 typhoon signal. We are close to an MTR station, so we thought we would open and see what...</description>

      <description>More than 100 riders from major food delivery platform Keeta staged protests in two busy parts of Hong Kong on Thursday to demand better and fairer wages, as some said their daily pay had dropped by about 35 per cent since last month.
Couriers took to the streets to voice their concerns for the third time this month, gathering in Hung Hom and Central after smaller-scale strikes took place in Tsuen Wan and Mei Foo in recent weeks.
“The lowest pay for a single order could be HK$5 [60 US cents],...</description>

      <description>A group of couriers said they would file claims against Deliveroo after the food delivery platform failed to give them any compensation as the company exited the Hong Kong market on Monday.
The Riders’ Rights Concern Group said the 16 couriers were among an estimated 12,000 riders who were not given any employee entitlements by Deliveroo, as they were considered self-employed workers.
London-based Deliveroo announced it was closing down in Hong Kong after a nine-year run, with certain assets to...</description>

      <description>A group of disgruntled couriers at Hong Kong delivery platform Foodpanda have launched their second strike in two weeks after they accused the company of rigging the payments system to impose cuts of up to 30 per cent in their income.
The couriers on Thursday said they organised the two-day strike because their pay cut concerns had not been dealt with by the company, despite similar industrial action over the same grievance last month.
But Foodpanda hit back that the strikers had disrupted the...</description>

      <description>Hundreds of disgruntled Foodpanda couriers have gone on strike in Hong Kong over a new map system, which they claim the online food delivery platform has rigged to impose further pay cuts, among other grievances.
The delivery workers planned to go on strike from 6pm on Saturday until midnight on Sunday, which would be followed by a five-day industrial action during which they would refuse orders from Foodpanda’s on-demand grocery service Pandamart.
While Foodpanda argued its new system ensured a...</description>
