The life of a student is, no doubt, a hectic one. A student has to find a way to balance their personal, social, and college life in a manner that does not affect their studies or deviate them from achieving their goals. The responsibilities of adulting hit college students like a bus. Pampered by their guardians all their life, stepping into college is a sudden and harsh reality check from the world to them. Students are expected to manage their finances, studies, and work altogether while having good physical and mental health.
While some of the students excel, most find it difficult to cope with studies and a job. And the most common thing that gets neglected is their diet. Obesity is a common problem in the UK and affects 1 in every four adults. The primary reason for obesity is the consumption of junk food. It is a lesser-known fact that junk food is comparatively cheaper than wholesome and fresh food. Due to this, most students prefer eating processed, frozen, and ready-made food rather than cooking up a healthy meal for themselves.
Every year thousands of students all over the world leave their hometowns and travel to a different state or country to opt for higher education. Statistics show that the current number of international students in the UK is 485,845. Imagine the number of students not following a good diet just because they cannot afford it. A solution to their financial and health problems is HungryPanda – an economical, Chinese food ordering app that assists students with their prompt food delivery services.
Providing Economic Food Options for Students
Being mindful of the needs of the students, Liu Kelu (Eric), a graduate of the University of Nottingham, decided to create a food delivery app that catered to the needs of the students. Having a Chinese background, Eric always missed the food he got back at home. And so, he often found himself craving for authentic Chinese food. Sadly enough, the Chinese food he got locally, were anything but Chinese, and the few restaurants who actually made good Chinese food did not deliver. His problems were similar to other Chinese students too. To tackle this problem and create an economical food delivery service, he laid the foundation for HungryPanda.
HungryPanda is a Chinese food delivery app that connects users with restaurants that do not have their own delivery service. This app has put in lots of effort to select only those restaurants that had a taste similar to home. It has a wide variety of restaurants that serve authentic Chinese food, which is freshly made on each order and delivered while it’s pippin’ hot! One of this app’s unique features is that its interface is entirely in Mandarin, which makes it eases the food ordering procedure for the newly shifted Chinese people.
This app was launched in 2017 and has grown exponentially over time. HungryPanda was an instant hit among the people of the UK. People had become obsessed with ordering their favorite Chinese food right from the comfort of their living room. The prompt delivery, easy interface, and endless variety of all kinds of Chinese food made people rave about this new app. This smart decision made their profits increase significantly and allowed a smooth expansion of their business.
More Than A Food Delivery App
HungryPanda aimed to satisfy the Chinese food cravings of people, which is why, to facilitate its users, the team decided to deliver grocery items. The app did not deliver just any grocery items, but those items that were sourced directly from China. Finding authentic and local Chinese food ingredients and snacks is a tough task in any European country. One has to travel to a specific area or a shop that offers pure China-made food. To make it easier for their customers, HungryPanda began delivering Chinese grocery items right from the shops to their customers’ houses. Their customers highly appreciated this service and became even more loyal to their app.
