The Best Food Delivery Hacks To Try
Don’t miss discounts when you’re having food delivered, whether on GrabFood, Foodpanda, or elsewhere!
Over the past year (and however many months we’ve been in and out of lockdown), many of us have become good friends with our food delivery apps. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a quick lunch when you don’t have time to carve out of your day, or a varied spread for dinner, it’s now become so much easier to have food delivered to us.
Apps like GrabFood and Foodpanda have grown exponentially over the pandemic, giving us more and more choices—and, even better, more and more discounts, promos, and savings. In the gallery below, we’ve rounded up five of the best food delivery hacks to try in order to make your life easier—or just to get the most bang for your buck!

Get discounts for certain times of the day (or on certain days)
GrabFood offers discounts—free delivery, a certain percent off—at certain times of the day, usually around lunch or dinner, or just about/after. If you’re thinking about having food delivered, take note of the time, as these are usually unannounced—they just show up in the “Available Offers” window of GrabFood!
Discounts for certain payment modes
Depending on which payment mode you choose, the delivery app you’re using could have extra promos and discounts. For example, GrabFood offers Php 100 off a minimum spend of Php 500 for RCBC users. They also have different deals for Metrobank users, and even more deals for those who pay using GrabPay. For foodpanda users, you can get Php 30 off transactions on delivery and pick-up if you use Gcash.
Daily deals
Whenever you open foodpanda, you will be greeted with pandabox, a timed offer (usually around 15 minutes) that gets you up to Php 130 off a minimum spend of Php 400. The catch: you have one chance to pick a restaurant; you have to unlock the discount with the minimum order; and you have to place your order before the timer runs out!
Raffles of the month
Foodpanda offers customers a chance to win Php 20,000 in cash with every pandamart order that’s worth Php 399. Use the code “AUGRAFFLE” until August 31. Keep an eye out for more raffles like this!
Discounts for subscribers
If you’re a foodpanda user, you’re probably aware of their subscription plan: Foodpanda offers pandapro, an all-in-one plan that unlocks exclusive benefits across the platform. For first-time users, it’s Php 50 a month (originally Php 99), and this gets you 20% off on over 8,400+ restaurants. And the best thing is, it’s unlimited!
