Meituan: During the Winter Solstice, pilot program to provide "overtime protection" for delivery riders of related food orders

On December 21st, China entered the Winter Solstice solar term. Platform data shows that orders for seasonal foods such as dumplings have reached a consumption peak. During this year's Winter Solstice, Meituan is piloting "overtime protection" for delivery riders handling related food orders. Meituan stated that it decided to take advantage of the Winter Solstice to explore turning overtime exemption protection into a regular product. In the future, it will use big data to determine when there are surges in orders during holidays, weather events, or other special circumstances, and will launch corresponding overtime protection mechanisms based on relevant merchants, regions, and other classifications
