99Food is redefining what involves the delivery rider universe in Brazil, with more real earning opportunities and a commitment to the future of the category. Starting today, motorcyclists across the country can already 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 transport — provides a more efficient and profitable workday for motorcyclists. With the introduction of 99Food, those who complete 15 passenger rides and deliveries plus 5 food deliveries per day will receive guaranteed daily earnings of R$250, which means compensation about 50% higher than the market average.
But 99’s commitment goes beyond compensation. The company will invest R$50 million over the next 5 years to create a network of support points for partner motorcyclists in major cities across the country where it will operate. In partnership with restaurants and logistics operators, these spaces will offer restrooms, 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 our platform’s integrated services, serving 55 million users in over 3,300 cities, our partners will be able to work smarter, earn more, and better monetize their time.”
In practice, a motorcyclist can start the day by taking a passenger to work, spend the morning on package deliveries, and continue with transport in the afternoon to take advantage of peak meal times with food delivery — all within a single app. And through 99Pay, their earnings will be paid out the same day.
“We don’t see motorcyclists and delivery riders 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 floor. Our mission goes beyond one-off promotions — we’re changing the logic of this relationship to create a new standard that values, protects, and empowers those who keep the system running.”
This initiative is part of 99’s R$1 billion investment in Brazil by 2025 to develop a superapp and expand opportunities for those already working as delivery riders, while creating new possibilities for thousands of people currently seeking income sources for various reasons.
By integrating mobility, deliveries, and financial services into a single 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 fairer, more accessible, and sustainable ecosystem for everyone, including motorcyclists.
99Food will be launched by the end of the first half of 2025 in Brazil.
