₦2,000 weekly bonus: Food delivery startups get creative as riders ask for more pay
- Mano began paying riders a ₦2,000 weekly bonus and switched to a dynamic pricing model.
- Glovo offers performance-based bonuses for riders delivering 550 and 800 orders.
- Chowdeck increased long-distance trip fees from ₦1,500 to ₦1,800 but hasn't made significant changes.
The ongoing challenges faced by food delivery companies highlight a critical need for innovative solutions to ensure the sustainability of the gig economy. As inflation continues to rise, companies must find a way to balance rider compensation with customer affordability, potentially exploring more sustainable delivery methods like electric vehicles.
