Luckily there are alternatives, and today you can order takeaway deliveries from restaurants quickly and easily. 

So how to order a delivery from a restaurant like a pro?

First of all, choose a restaurant that has received a high rating on a reliable online site. Check that its delivery hours are right for you.

Consider whether the dish you want to order will survive the delivery. Not every dish is suitable for deliveries. If in doubt, consult the restaurant by phone.

If you are ordering food for the next few days, make sure the dishes can be heated at home, and if special preparation instructions from the restaurant are needed.

Make an effort not to order from restaurants that use non-perishable plastic packaging. Environmental pollution is a real problem, and you should try and avoid using disposable utensils. Some restaurants offer reusable utensil deliveries in exchange for a small deposit that will be refunded to you upon returning the utensils to the restaurant.
