Dinner to Your Door
When in a rush have whatever food you want delivered straight to your door
AStory by Molly Clark
s food delivery services are becoming popular more and more restaurants are
starting to deliver using apps such as Postmates, GrubHub, Doordash, and Uber eats. Different restaurants deliver through different apps.
Wendy’s delivers through Doordash and Taco Bell delivers through GrubHub. These apps don’t only deliver from fast food places either, Postmates also deliver from places such as Chipotle, Five Guys, Tropical Smoothie, and several other restaurants that serve whatever kind of food you want and whenever you want it. From a taco to the classic all American cheeseburger to a pizza you can order pretty much anything from these food delivery apps.
The main reason these food delivery apps are being used is because of convenience. If it is a late night after sports or you don’t have time to leave the house and are hungry, these food delivery systems are a great resource. When ordering food online to be delivered there is an overwhelming amount of options which is why it can be so addicting to order food all the time.
Most people are unaware of these food delivery services. It can be a huge time saver and a big help when you want a bite to eat, but don’t have time to go out to eat or you don’t have a car and you want something to eat.The cost of these apps is a little more than going out and buying it yourself only because you have to pay the person delivering your food. If you were to go out and buy the food you would pay for the
food and a little bit of gas depending on how you get to the restaurant and what
food you buy. When you get food delivered the cost may be more money in the
long run.
The cost of these food delivery apps depends on the app you use and the food, drinks, and sides that you purchase. If at anytime you want something all you have to do is order it so if you ordered one meal a day for one month the cost adds up, but if you can be smart and not over order or not order from these delivery services everyday than they can be perfect for those late nights after practice or if you’re having a lazy Sunday on the couch.
Restaurants and food delivery companies definitely had a great idea coming up with these food delivery systems and apps giving us a bigger variety of options for food delivery and pickup other than the old school pizza delivery.
