Filipinos love food, that’s for sure. However, due to the soul-crushing traffic we encounter everyday, we are often hesitant to go out and try new dining experiences. We can’t even decide where to eat the moment we go out for lunch or dinner. Then food delivery apps came and changed everyone's lives.
Food delivery apps in the Philippines will deliver meals and even grocery items right to your doorsteps. These apps are out to make our lives easier, our wallets happier, and our stomachs bigger. Save money on food by downloading the following food apps.
Food Delivery Apps to Check Out
GrabFood
After dominating the ride-hailing market, Grab[1] is looking to conquer another essential of city life—food delivery. The good thing about GrabFood is that you don’t need to download an additional app. If you have the Grab app, just update it to the latest version and you can order food right from your couch. It’s as easy as booking a Grab ride, probably a lot easier.
Just like the Grab app, GrabFood operates 24/7 in all serviceable areas (except for Laguna and Cavite). So rest assured, there’s always a solution for your late night cravings.

FoodPanda
If you ever see a motorcycle carrying a pink box with a panda’s face plastered to it, then you just spotted a FoodPanda[2] delivery. Sometimes it’s a bicycle carrying those pink goodies, but it’s all FoodPanda. One good thing about FoodPanda is that you can order directly from their website[3], so you can order your lunch while you type away on your desktop.
Out of all the other food apps in this list, FoodPanda is one of the most extensive food delivery apps in the country. Aside from Metro Manila, they also deliver meals from 2,000 restaurant partners in Cavite, Rizal, Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao City. They also have special offers for businesses when you order in bulk for meetings and late-night work sessions.

If you live or work exclusively in Makati City and select parts of Bonifacio Global City, then Lalafood[4]is your best bet.

And to sweeten the deal, there’s no minimum order required.
Food delivery apps like Lalafood come in handy when you just need a quick bite. You don’t need to worry about reaching a certain amount just to get your hands on some desserts.
