Whether you are too busy to grab a bite outside, a little too worried about going outside in general, or is just keen on trying new things, skipping a bite outside often happens. Making food at home is a frugal and often healthier alternative, but it can take a lot of time and energy depending on what kind of food you are making. Plus, if you’re not a good cook then cooking inside might not be such a good idea. So, how about ordering food online. Yes, it’s really easy to do so. Here is how to order food online in Bali if you’re craving for the food from that good restaurant you used to go to outside.

How to order food online in Bali?
If you are familiar with apps and companies like Doordash or Grubhub, then you pretty much understand how to order food online in Bali. In Bali, though, the popular online food delivery app is Gojek. Gojek essentially provides you with ease of access to ordering foods, going to places, buying goods, or even providing services from doctors to masseuses.
How does it work?
To use Gojek, you need to download the Gojek app first. You can find them in app stores within your phone. After you’re done downloading you need to enter your personal identity, including mainly your name and your phone number, so that the drivers can identify who is making the order. Once you’re done with that, you’re all set! Gojek offers you a carousel of restaurants to try and order food from. It’s also convenient if you want to order something a bit out of reach from walking distance, as they can simply ride their way to the restaurant whose food you crave for.
How do I pay?
For payments, you could use cash or their virtual currency, go-pay. If you are interested in using go-pay, you could charge them up at your local minimarket, some ATMs, or even when you are using their transportation service. Other than that, Gojek also provides promotions and discounts from time to time. So keep an eye out for a promo on a restaurant or a diner chain that you particularly like for a good meal with a bargained price.
Similar application?
Another similar online ordering app Grab. In Particular, Grab food. To use them you need to do just about the same thing as Gojek. Download the Grab app on your app store, enter your personal identity, and start ordering! Here is a tip: when looking for discounts, you could scroll both apps for the best possible option. This is because often both apps don’t have the same discounts on the same restaurants on the same period. You could live economically while enjoying the best Bali can offer when it comes to food thanks to online delivery service.
Other than Gofood and Grab Food, you can also try ordering food online from Shopee Food and Traveloka Eats. Both of these two online food apps are new to the scene. You can order by downloading the Shopee App and the Traveloka App. And since they are new, they have many discounts for their users.
Is there any catch or other things that I should know?
One thing that you need to know about using online driver services in general is that they are often ‘banned’ from certain areas or districts. This ban is neither subjected by the state nor it has a clear outline on where and where not to go. This ‘ban’ is mainly executed by ojek (like taxi, but with motorcycles) and small taxi groups called Banjar, which is a forum or gathering of ojek and taxi drivers from small companies. For whatever reason they are doing this, it means that certain areas might not be accessible for your online delivery drivers.

Some restaurants with online deliveries as an alternative
While owning and using online delivery apps are recommended, you might need to know some restaurants that do their own delivery in case Gojek or Grab cannot reach the restaurant you want. If you still want a delivery coming right in front of your doorstep, you can order from these restaurants as alternatives to online delivery apps! They have either an online ordering service or a dedicated delivery fleet for your convenience. Check them out!
