How can I order food delivery as a visitor?
Short answer
Baemin and Coupang Eats offer English. Baemin supports guest orders and overseas cards; Shuttle is another option without a Korean phone number. Check your address and payment before ordering. Tips are not normally expected; delivery fees are separate.
What to do
- Set the app language, enter your accommodation address and check with reception where deliveries can be collected.
- Choose food, check the delivery fee and final total, then confirm payment and collection instructions.
Check before relying on this
- Available restaurants, payment methods and phone checks vary. An English interface does not guarantee that every overseas card or visitor account will work.

Choose an app
Baemin offers English, Japanese and Chinese, guest orders and overseas-card payments. Follow any contact or SMS check requested by the current app. Coupang Eats lists English and Korean; check its signup and checkout requirements. Shuttle offers English ordering, overseas cards and ordinary signup without a Korean number; credit or promotions may require phone verification.
Delivery fee is not a tip
Tipping is not normally expected in Korea. The Korean label 배달팁 in a delivery app means a delivery charge, not an optional gratuity. Pay the displayed order total; check any delivery or service charges before confirming.
