Meituan rallies employees around expansion plans, job prospects amid bruising delivery war


In his all-hands letter to staff over the weekend that was widely shared online, Wang said Meituan had served more than 770 million users over the past 12 months through the 14.5 million merchants on its platform.

In the instant commerce segment, where Alibaba and JD.com compete, Meituan had achieved daily peak orders of 150 million, as its delivery crew numbered 3.36 million on a monthly average basis.

In addition, Wang said Meituan would provide more social security coverage to its delivery crews, as the company looked to roll out “subsidies to pension insurance” for all these workers across the country in 2025.
