Korea is a place where meals are delivered at your doorstep-around the clock, 365 days a year. The service is FREE and it doesn't matter how many servings one orders - one or one hundred. With just one call, the restaurants send a delivery boy with the ordered food. This is something striking for a first-time visitor.
It looks something like this. The guy on the bike with a basket at the back and in that you can see the metal tiffin boxes - huge. These guys ride their bikes fast and many a times, to provide hot meals to us, have met with accidents and have even died.
McDo has also started food delivery in Korea for the past two years and are quite popular. I love the idea that in this country you think of eating something,all you have to do is to dial a number and food will be at your door in 20 minutes times. No tips, no minimum order to place - they even serve a single serving woth 5 or 6 USD, (6000 won).

I don't know about other places but it's about 2 years that Mc Donald's has joined the mainstream -to deliver meals at your doorstep.

delivery at door step is now also available in Pakistan but till now is big cities only.
ReplyDeleteI agree with u Talha. However, in Pakistan it is not a 24 hours service. Moreover, you have to make an order of a specific (minimum)amount - which is often pretty unreasonable. Last but not the least,they are close on occasions like Eid etc.
ReplyDeleteBTW. India has the world's oldest and most efficient tiffin/lunch box delivery system commonly known as 'DABBAWALLAHS'or 'TIFFINWALLAHS' dating back to the 18th. century! Incredible isn't it!
I heard that Karachi has something like 'tiffin delivery' service with a long history too!
100% right. Other day I tried to order KFC but as minimum amount was more than what I planed to order, I had to perforce order more :(
