Food Delivery Apps in Philippines

GrabFood is the visitor default and held about 61 percent of Philippine meal-delivery gross merchandise value in 2024, while foodpanda held about 39 percent in 2024. GrabFood covers Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, Cebu, Bacolod and Davao as of mid-2026. Its English interface accepts cash, GrabPay, PayPal and most foreign Visa and Mastercard cards without local ID or a Philippine bank account. foodpanda is the necessary comparison app, with broad coverage in the same metropolitan areas plus cities such as Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro as of mid-2026. It is often cheaper after vouchers, although the winning app changes by restaurant and delivery distance. Foreign cards usually work, but cash is the fallback when an issuer rejects an online Philippine transaction. Pick.A.Roo is a smaller Manila-focused alternative with restaurants and retail delivery, useful for premium chains but usually more expensive than GrabFood or foodpanda. Typical delivery charges vary by distance and campaign, so compare the final basket rather than the menu price alone. A foreign phone number normally works on all three, but SMS verification can be less reliable than with a Philippine SIM. English is standard. Uber Eats is absent because Uber sold its Southeast Asian operations to Grab in 2018. Restaurant depth and courier supply fall quickly beyond the named cities, and many provincial restaurants still use direct Facebook or phone orders.
