The fast-food delivery deal breaker

There’s no such thing as having too much Chickenjoy or chicken nuggets. But sometimes, we turn to our fast-food favorites a bit too much that our tastebuds crave for something exciting with a more diverse palate of flavors that come in a variety of meats and ingredients come hump day.

For the busy bees, preparing home-cooked meals and dining out can be a chore, and they easily rely on fast-food deliveries for quick meal breaks or even late-night munchies. But what if we tell you your favorite restaurant dishes could be delivered right at your doorstep?

The moment you sign up on foodpanda, you’ll realize you’ve found your foodie godmother. Available as a website and mobile app, foodpanda has over a thousand restaurant partners and delivers to the biggest cities in the country including NCR, Pampanga, Baguio, Davao, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and more.

Foodpanda makes things easy with a P59 fixed delivery fee and a P200 minimum order requirement—but it also has its limitations. For one, the list of restaurants you can order from are based on your location, as not all branches of their restaurant partners are capable of making deliveries. You might just have to cross your fingers that the food gods are in your favor.

Super tips: The mobile app is so much more convenient to use as it notifies you with every step of the delivery process: confirmation of order, preparation of meals, rider’s arrival at the restaurant branch, and rider’s arrival at your address. The app even has a running countdown to guarantee the delivery makes it within the promised time.

Make sure you also order an hour and a half before you actually want to eat. Most of the restaurants take more than an hour to get the deliveries done, and you don’t want get caught during the restaurant’s busy hours, when you will have to wait a while before the app will allow you to place an order. If you have a big celebration coming up, you can order from foodpanda one week in advance. Here are our go-to foodpanda restos:
