Food delivery platforms have developed rapidly during the epidemic. Foodpanda, Deliveroo and other food delivery platforms have become the general trend, while Ubereat has been unable to compete, and regrettably announced the end of operations at the end of last year. In less than a year, another food delivery platform “Lingduck” also announced the end of its operations. Netizens sighed that “even Ubereat can’t play in such a big room”, which resonated a lot!
After Ubereat, another food delivery platform closed down.
During the epidemic, if you don’t want to go out to eat, you can only enjoy meals at home. At this time, it is suitable to order a takeaway. FoodPanda, Deliveroo and other food delivery platforms take advantage of the trend to increase cooperative merchants and restaurants, and change their operating policies, which has become a general trend in a short period of time. However, Ubereat regretted not being able to seize the opportunity and officially ended its operations on December 31, 2021, but never thought that this was just the beginning. In less than a year, there is another food delivery platform “Lingduck”, which will open in 2022. It was officially announced on August 17 and will end its operations on August 31.
“Lide Lingduck” announced the news on social media, saying: “From the beginning, I have no name, until today there is a group of users and merchants who have been supporting me. Apart from my feelings, I want to say what I want to say. “Thank you.” He explained: “To this day, due to various reasons, it is inevitable to say goodbye to everyone temporarily.” The picture of a yellow duck crying with tears is written with the words “reunited with fate”. The post caused a lot of repercussions on social media, and many users rushed to leave a message to express their dismay.
Some netizens forwarded the screenshots to the LIHKG discussion forum, showing different voices. Some netizens think that the scale of “Lingduck” is not as large as other big companies: “I have used (Lingduck) to pick it up by myself, in fact, it is convenient, but the market in Hong Kong is small, and it is for large companies to eat, so it may be better to ban dine-in before, And the family is usually dine-in!”, and even sighed: “Ubereat is so big that I can’t play it, it’s too difficult to follow the line.” It is difficult to have room to play in a limited market, and it is only natural that it will eventually stop operating.
Some netizens also said that the “Lingduck” discount is not as good as that of other large food delivery platforms, and the service cannot keep up with the expansion speed: “The shipping fee is so expensive, and there is no one to deliver it”, and there are not many cooperative restaurants in some areas: “The same as returning to work. There is no shop to choose from near the house and enterprise.” He said bluntly, “It’s because a small company is not strong enough.”
