What about the KM traveled? The minimum rate distance cannot be reduced
An important question is whether the distance covered by the minimum rate has changed. According to the source, iFood does not change the amount paid for miles driven, which remains at R$1,50/KM. The expectation is that the mileage covered by the minimum rate will not be reduced.
This would mean that motorcycle couriers can continue to travel up to about 5 km for R$7,50. For bike couriers, there is speculation that they can travel up to 3,5 km for R$7,00. The ideal demand would be a higher minimum (R$10) for up to 5 km, with an additional charge for each additional km, which did not occur.
Increase valid only in June; other apps do not announce adjustment
This XNUMXth-century Ifood adjustment does not have immediate application. The new values of R$7,00 (bicycle) and R$7,50 (motorcycle) will only come into effect from June 2025. They will not be applied in May. Meanwhile, the other competing delivery platforms have not announced, to date, any type of increase or adjustment for delivery drivers.
The perception about the Ifood adjustment , according to the source, is that the increase was small. Although any increase is a step, the values were below expectations many delivery men (who were asking for a minimum of R$10). The source reports outrage at the lack of adjustment by other companies. He also states that he was expecting a value close to R$7,50 from iFood, considering the platform's history.
