Sometimes in Bali, you just want to have a lazy day – stay inside, watch your favourite series, and order in instead of going out to eat. Luckily, plenty of apps and services are available to deliver food straight to your door when you’re in the mood to chill at home.
Here are some ways you can conveniently order food online.
Order directly from the restaurant
This method of ordering food online is mostly available for fast food chains that have delivery hotlines you can call directly or apps you can download. Ordering directly may be a cheaper option as delivery might still be free if you’re located within a certain radius from the restaurant.
Call in and place your order, let them know where you are, and sit tight at home while you wait for your food. Payment can be done via bank transfer or by cash to the delivery driver.
Order food online via app
The best way to order food online in Bali is through apps run by online ride hailing services. These are similar to UberEats or Postmates in other countries. On the apps, you can search through the available restaurants, place your order, and pay in-app or by cash to the driver.
Popular food delivery apps in Bali
Three major food delivery apps are available in most regions in Bali:
- GoFood by Gojek
- GrabFood by Grab
- ShopeeFood by Shopee
These apps collaborate with local establishments to bring you delicious meals. Delivery charges start at Rp.10,000 and may vary according to your distance from the restaurant.
Be sure to check the app for any deals on certain menus, bundling promos, or free delivery from specific restaurants. There are also discounts available for certain payment methods.
Order groceries online
If you feel like cooking a meal but aren’t up for going to the supermarket to get ingredients, you can also get groceries online.
Gojek and Grab have GoMart and GrabMart features within the apps, allowing you to select items from nearby supermarkets. There is also an app called HappyFresh specifically for groceries and produce.
For the ethically-conscious, the website Bali Direct works together with locally-run businesses to offer eco-conscious and ethically sourced ingredients.
With these services, you can get almost any kind of food from restaurants around the area. From breakfast burritos, local warung food, salads and desserts, to full Italian dinners, the apps have got you covered. You can also get your favourite coffee, matcha, milk tea, or smoothies from nearby cafes.
Fine dining menus are also available to order online for those looking to have a nicer meal from the comfort of home. The innovative Indonesian menu from Merah Putih restaurant can be ordered from GoFood and GrabFood, delivering from the Petitenget area for lunch and dinner.
