The Spring Festival is peak season for food delivery drivers, as many people prefer to order food delivery rather than go out. This article compares the incentive programs offered by the two major platforms during the 2026 Spring Festival.
Comparison of Spring Festival Rewards on Two Major Platforms
foodpanda Lunar New Year Rewards:
- An additional 20 yuan per trip (from New Year's Eve through the third day of the Lunar New Year)
- For every 30 trips completed, you’ll receive an additional 200 yuan red envelope
- During peak hours (11–14, 17–20), an additional 10 yuan will be charged per trip.
Uber Eats Lunar New Year Rewards:
- An additional 25 yuan per trip (during long weekends)
- For every 40 trips completed, you can claim a random red envelope (50–200 yuan)
- Lunar New Year Limited-Time Event: Extra Mission Rewards from the 1st to the 3rd Day of the Lunar New Year
Which platform is better?To be honest, it depends on which county or city you're in. If you're in the Taipei-New Taipei area, Uber Eats usually has more orders; if you're in metropolitan areas in central or southern Taiwan, Pandora has a clear advantage.
My suggestion:Don’t stick to just one platform during the Spring Festival. Keep both open and accept orders from whichever one has them. Also, stay safe—the roads are crowded with cars and people during the Spring Festival, so never take risks just to save time.
