LIST: Food Delivery Apps to Help Satisfy Your Cravings

Everyone appreciates eating at home or at the office without having to prep your own meal—thanks to online deliveries for making this possible.

While most restaurants have their own applications nowadays, there are independent online food deliveries that serve as your one-stop shop for multiple stores. It comes in handy when you can’t decide which restaurant you want to order from.

We’ve listed down some of the food delivery apps you can download and rely on for your meals, groceries, and more:

Honestbee

Honestbee is an online concierge and delivery service app, where trained concierge shoppers literally shop for your needs. The app started out to serve as a grocery service but now has expanded to deliver restaurant orders including S&R New York Pizza, Banapple, Yoshinoya, and more!  They cater to patrons in Metro Manila and Cebu, but are working to extend their services to other areas.

They aim to make life easier as you can shop for your food and groceries without having to leave the comforts of your home. Once your orders are placed, they deliver it within minutes depending on how far you are from your selected establishment.

However, as of April 2019, Honestbee has put their services in the Philippines on a hiatus. They have yet to announce when their services will continue.

They also have exclusive deals for certain restaurants that you can avail of—including free upsize, meal deals and discounts, among others. Like other food delivery services, they show how long you have to wait for your meals to arrive, as well as which restaurants are still open at a specific time of the day.

What makes foodpanda a little more convenient than others is that they show your delivery fee, including those that offer it for free. Their delivery fee is usually at Php 35, making it slightly cheaper than the rest.

You also have the option to order your meals in advance, and pick them up at the restaurant itself. For their pick-ups, they also show the distance of the restaurant from your location and how long you have to wait.
