Meituan Dianping turns its business focus to short distance delivery

Operating at a loss, Meituan is making efforts to better on utilizing labor force, deploying short-distance express service across the platform during the slack periods before and after peak lunch time. It’s deemed to be an effective solution in face of the mounting salary costs for its delivery fleet, also a productive way to boost activation within the app from time to time. The services can be accessed on Meituan’s main app which now serves over 3.6 million merchants and 400 million users in China.
