99Food is redefining what involves the universe of delivery drivers in Brazil, with more real earning opportunities and a commitment to the future of the category. As of today, motorcyclists from all over the country can register to receive opportunities from 99’s food delivery platform and start working as soon as the service is launched.
The combination of services offered by the company – food, package deliveries, and passenger transportation – provides a more efficient and profitable work journey for the motorcyclist. With the introduction of 99Food, those who complete 15 rides with passengers and deliver 5 food orders per day will earn a guaranteed daily income of R$250, which means about 50% more remuneration than the market average.
But 99’s commitment goes beyond remuneration. The company will invest R$50 million over the next 5 years to create a network of support points for partner motorcyclists in the main cities of the country where it will be in operation. In partnership with restaurants and logistics operators, these spaces will offer bathrooms, rest areas, hydration options, among other things, ensuring more dignity and comfort throughout the workday.
“We are building something much bigger than just another income alternative,” says Luis Felipe Gamper, Senior Director of Logistics at 99. “With all the integrated services on our platform, with 55 million users in over 3,300 cities, our partners will be able to work more intelligently, earn more and make better use of their time.”
In practice, a motorcyclist can start the day by taking a passenger to work, enjoy the morning with package deliveries, and continue with transportation in the afternoon to take advantage of peak meal times with delivery — all in one app. And with 99Pay, your earnings will be paid the same day.
“We don’t see motorcyclists and delivery drivers as intermediaries — but as partners. That’s why we want to build a better future for them,” adds Gamper. “We are working with the government to ensure more lasting protections, such as access to social security and defining a minimum earnings threshold. Our mission goes beyond one-time promotions — we are changing the logic of this relationship to create a new standard that values, protects, and empowers those who make the system run.”
The movement is part of a R$1 billion investment by 99 in Brazil by 2025 to develop a super app and expand opportunities for those already working as delivery drivers, as well as creating new possibilities for thousands of people who are currently seeking a source of income for various reasons.
By integrating mobility, deliveries, and financial services in one platform, 99 is facilitating access to work and income. With the recent announcement of fee waivers for restaurants and lower prices for consumers, 99Food is building a more fair, accessible, and sustainable ecosystem for everyone, including the motorcyclists.
99Food will be launched by the end of the first semester of 2025 in Brazil.
