With so many food delivery apps around, it is super confusing to navigate which app to use. I decided to use a handful of them to compare which one is better. In general, all the apps are very similar, but they all offer different choices with a different combination of charges. Some offer free delivery, but charge a service charge. Others charge both a delivery fee and service charge. Here are the promos if you are looking to try one (or a few services out):
o Foodora
($10 off)- https://bnc.lt/YR5e/JMThbh5rq5?fbclid=IwAR0ZxvAEqEFdDdLUr24FVY3lRIrvTMJitKDGcQ86Kuth4oc9E4u23rPw0C4
§ There’s
some great prices and places on here such as Burgoo. However, delivery is
geographically limited.
o Doordash
($5 off 4 orders) - https://www.doordash.com/consumer/referred/Mike-Hsiao-532598/?utm_source=copy
§ Cactus
Club Delivers their Happy Hour on here! Their prices are slightly higher than
if
§ Can
deliver “long distance”
§ Avoid
some places – they charge a markup. I ordered 3 large pizzas from a place
called “Super Great Pizza” and if you go in-store to pick up, it’s only $20 a
pizza. On the App, it’s $25 a pizza (not including service fees and tips).
o UberEats
($5 off) – Enter: eats-mikeh65825ue in the Promo area after downloading the app
§ My
favourite app so far for deliveries. Sometimes there’s delivery fees and other
times there aren’t.
§ They
have an area on the app where you get free delivery fee (for a limited time
usually) if there’s a courier who is already heading your direction to pickup
another order.
§ There’s
promos such as free bubble tea with order (which is not the same as if you did
pick-up).
o Skip
the Dishes ($5 off) - https://www.skipthedishes.com/r/3gsZizea9Y/complete?fbclid=IwAR1B9IJQyHzqxBJ3OXBEOs6gbJnX6DSYjpPN-r_cfcX8dzhNYvpKks8LSnA
§ Used
to be my favourite… until the mishap where I ordered food to the office and
then the courier apparently couldn’t find our address. Then the restaurant
cancelled my order and I requested a refund, which was denied. I contacted
customer support and it was like talking to a robot who keeps repeating the
same things.
§ They
don’t charge delivery fees and there are some places exclusively on here
(unless you use Fantuan below which physically sends someone to go pick it up
and pay the restaurant on behalf of you – but the charge for that service)
o Fantuan
($7 off ) – use code 3VVCD
§ This
is a free for all… they delivery almost EVERY THING and you can order things
from Hot Pot to groceries. You can also use this app to have their couriers run
errands (like go to the store and etc)…
