Being in a city has many perks; sights to see, many restaurants, and public transportation to get you almost anywhere you need to go. But when that big snowstorm hits or temperatures drop below freezing, going outside becomes increasingly unappealing. That’s why new food delivery services are becoming increasingly popular; whether used as an application on your phone or online, food delivered to your doorstep is just a click away.
If you’ve been on the T recently, you’ve probably seen ads for one of these services called “Foodler”. Foodler and its competitors such as GrubHub and Seamless provide a database of restaurants based on your location and include information such as the distance from your home, delivery fees and minimums, as well as a full menu for you to order from. Each app offers different options, some with more than others. Once the food is selected, users have the option of paying with cash or card and choosing delivery or pickup.
This is extremely convenient for our visitors since lunch is their responsibility. On these cold winter days, it’s hard to go outside in the snow to get your food, so these apps are a perfect alternative. Be sure to let them know about the conveniences of this app, they’ll be sure to find something they enjoy.
For Chinese visitors, there is an app called “FoodEasyGo” that provides a variety of authentic Asian food and snacks. From Korean spicy tofu soup to Taiwanese bubble tea, you can find all kinds of delicious dishes with this website: http://www.foodeasygo.com/. These services take convenience to a new level, and when you don’t feel like cooking or are stuck at home on a cold winter’s day they are the perfect solution to your hunger pangs. The best part is that it is in Chinese and English, so language barriers are never an issue.
