Adjusters share favorite meals and tips for food delivery apps

Undoubtedly, many of us have installed a food delivery app or two in the last two years. With the food delivery market projected to hit US$320 billion by 2029, the industry’s growth has impacted many of our everyday food experiences. We asked Adjusters across our global offices to share their favorite food delivery apps, meals, and tips for making the most of food delivery. So, tuck into these savory answers, and feel free to share your own nuggets of gold regarding food delivery apps in the comments below!

“My favorite delivery app is Grab. Grab has many drivers in my area and a variety of app services, so I can easily order. There are also occasional discount codes or vouchers, and I like the feeling of snagging a good deal when I apply the code. Pork and seafood noodle soup is my favorite go-to meal from a delivery app. I especially love enjoying the banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich)! Sometimes I order banh mi from my favorite vendor. A banh mi costs only less than US$1, and the taste is irresistible! I usually order on the weekend or when I don’t have time to cook. I’m thankful as it makes my life easier and more convenient. I love the comment section feature in the Grab app. I moved to Ho Chi Minh City from Central Vietnam; I used the comment section to source authentic Central Vietnamese food, which I hadn’t found before.” - Hien Nguyen Thi , Marketing Associate, APAC Vietnam

“DoorDash is my go-to delivery app. They have excellent coverage of my neighborhood and offer all different types of cuisines. I have a DashPass subscription that helps save on delivery fees. I love the “Under 30 Min” filter because I don’t like waiting for food! I also like that they offer more delivery services for groceries and pet products.We typically order for dinner or during a busy work day. However, as we’re getting into the winter months, we’re more prone to order when the weather is cold or rainy.?When I’m traveling and unfamiliar with an area, it’s really helpful to use the filters to find deliveries under 30 minutes and those with many stars. The “Most Popular Local Restaurants” filter also points me toward trusted local favorites.”?- Kandra Vu , Sr. Director, Global SDR / Inside Sales

“I like using the delivery app Wolt. We have found this amazing German restaurant that does fantastic traditional meals but with a bit of a modern flair. So, we like to order that when we can. But also Indian food, we love Indian food! I typically use a delivery app for lazy weekends for the most part or after a really long work day when I have zero desire to cook or have forgotten to grocery shop. It’s definitely nice to have a ton of options since ordering burgers or pizza becomes stale after a couple of times. We have found many nice places using food delivery apps that we would have never found otherwise.”- Thomas M. Hyder , Product Marketing Manager, EMEA Germany

“I just started using the DashPass subscription from the DoorDash app and have been saving more money than usual. I usually don’t spend too much time on the app since it knows my food preferences.?I’d have to say my go-to meal for food delivery is from Chick-fil-A. I always want their sandwiches the most on a Sunday, but unfortunately, they are closed that day.?I’m typically ordering lunch intermittently throughout the week. But if I’m feeling lazy on a Sunday, then I’ll indulge in a delivery service. All in all, my dining experience is fast and effortless thanks to food delivery apps.” - Ryan Schenk , Sales Development Representative, USA

“My favorite delivery app is Wolt, which I use once or twice a month. I like that you can see the food with a photo before ordering. Wolt’s live-tracking system hasn’t let me down, either. My favorite restaurant on Wolt is Kokio. In my opinion, they serve the best Korean fried chicken! I use food delivery apps mostly on weekends when I forget to go grocery shopping or when it’s rainy. I also feel that I order more frequently during winter than in summer. Delivery apps have made it easier for me to try out new restaurants in different neighborhoods in Berlin.”- Hiroto Saito, Content Localization Manager, EMEA Germany

“I don’t use food delivery apps very often.?I’ve only used a delivery app once after getting a couple of gift cards. That app was Grubhub, and I opted to order BBQ on a weekend.” - Jay Singh , Senior Sales Development Representative, USA

“My favorite food delivery app is DoorDash! I’m lucky because my partner’s job gives him the DashPass subscription, so we get to skip all of the extra fees. However, I find many of the costs a little absurd and think it would be great if these apps could somehow reduce them for folks who don’t have an extra subscription as we do.?I love ordering when I’m spending a night in. There’s nothing better than having some delivered food while you sit on the living room floor and watch some TV. I will always go for something Asian. We have a lot of great local Chinese and Vietnamese places near us, and recently I’ve been loving beef tendon pho!” - Dunya Mahmood , Product Marketing Associate, USA
