\"American<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Coupang Eats (\ucfe0\ud321\uc774\uce20)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Coupang Eats is part of the Coupang e-commerce platform and it is relatively new but they are growing rapidly! Today, they are one of the top 3 food delivery (\ubc30\ub2ec, Bae-Dal) apps in Korea. The best thing about Coupang Eats is that they offer a user interface in English<\/strong> so it makes it easier for foreigners to navigate the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coupang Eats also offers coupons (\ucfe0\ud3f0, Cu-Pon) regularly such as free delivery<\/strong> or up to 20% discount for selected restaurants. PLUS point: Coupang Eats offers amazing delivery speed<\/strong> wherein every delivery comes within 15 to 20 minutes. It is so quick that it will leave you in awe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Baedal Minjok (\ubc30\ub2ec\uc758\ubbfc\uc871) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Commonly known as Baemin<\/strong>, is one of the leading food delivery apps in Korea. The app is in Korean but with some English support. With an extensive food menu (\uba54\ub274, Me-Nyu), users are able to browse through different restaurants and food options easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is select the restaurant, add items to the cart, and then proceed to checkout. Payment (\uacb0\uc81c, Gyeol-Je) methods include credit cards (\uc2e0\uc6a9\uce74\ub4dc, Sin-Yong Ka-Deu), debit cards, mobile payments (such as KakaoPay and Naver Pay), and cash on delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After successful payment, you should see ‘Order Complete<\/strong>‘ (\uc8fc\ubb38 \uc644\ub8cc, Ju-Mun Wan-Ryo) or ‘Payment Complete<\/strong>‘ (\uacb0\uc81c \uc644\ub8cc Gyeol-Je Wan-Ryo). Afterwards, you can track your order status (real-time tracking) which includes the location of the delivery driver and estimated delivery time. The app also allows personalised usage where users can favorite restaurants and easily reorder and it provides recommendations based on past orders as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Yogiyo (\uc694\uae30\uc694) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a huge competitor of the other two food delivery apps in Korea, the Yogiyo icon is also included on the KakaoTalk App as an external link so now you can access Yogiyo via the KakaoTalk App. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order process is similar to Coupang Eats and Baemin, on top of that, users can contact customer support or the restaurant directly should any assistance be required. It could be letting the restaurant know you wish to change some items in your order or simply because you left out specifications like ‘less spicy’ for your Tteokbokki or remove garnishes such as spring onions or coriander etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that Yogiyo also supports the web version<\/a>? Now you can translate the web page to English<\/strong> using Google Translate before browsing and placing an order (\uc8fc\ubb38, Ju-Mun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Shuttle Delivery (\uc154\ud2c0\ub51c\ub9ac\ubc84\ub9ac)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shuttle Delivery<\/a> is by far, one of the most foreigner-friendly<\/strong> food delivery apps in Korea. Shuttle Delivery App offers a fully bilingual (English or Korean) food delivery service for customers. The user interface is available in 100% English so it eliminates any error due to the language barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shuttle Delivery is available for food delivery to places in Seoul, Osan, Pyeongtaek, Daegu, and Busan. Good to note that before placing an order, you shall set your delivery location first so it can show you the list of restaurants around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting them apart from the other food delivery apps in Korea, Shuttle Delivery accepts PayPal<\/strong> as one of their payment methods which means you do not need a Korean bank card to start ordering from the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Naver Map (\ub124\uc774\ubc84 \uc9c0\ub3c4)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Naver apps will surely make living in Korea<\/a> easier because Naver handles more than 75% of all web searches in Korea and that is why Naver Map is popular when it comes to searching for restaurants, menus, and reviews (\ub9ac\ubdf0, Ri-Byu). Although it is not one of the usual food delivery apps in Korea, it still allows food delivery<\/strong> to your doorstep. Let us tell you how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only Naver Map is used to search for restaurant locations or reviews, but it also offers food delivery service which is provided by the respective restaurants themselves. A simple guide on how to order food delivery via Naver Map is to search for nearby restaurants, select the restaurant, and check if they offer delivery<\/strong>. You should identify ‘\ubc30\ub2ec’ on the business information page. Although not all locations provide delivery service, there is still quite an extensive selection of restaurants that do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, global fast-food chains like McDonald’s and Burger King are available<\/strong> for food delivery via Naver Map! Alternatively, these fast-food chains manage food delivery services through their own mobile apps as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food delivery apps in Korea are surely one of the most convenient services in the world and with user-friendly interface and dual-language options, it is something you should try when you are in Korea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
