Making the Most of Your Food Delivery

By Kaitlin Hurtado on August 15, 2017

Summer days can be spent in vastly different ways. One day, you could care less about getting out of bed and seeing the light of day. The next, you could spend hours hiking your local trails.

One thing, however, doesn’t seem to change — a sudden burst of hunger can easily put a damper on plans when you realize you don’t have food with you. Instead of changing course, you can easily opt for food delivery regardless of where you are — you can stay where you want to be and continue on with a satisfied stomach.

Here are some different ways you can enjoy your food delivery.

Picnics at the park or beach 

Do you like the idea of having a picnic but hate the idea of prepping all of the food, taking it to the location, and then cleaning it all up? Try opting for food delivery for your next picnic. The only prep on your part will be ordering the food and meeting your delivery person to get the food (and of course, the post-picnic clean-up).

Spice up the typical turkey and cheese sandwiches and order burritos and carne asada fries to enjoy on the beach.

If you do decide to pack your own food for your picnic, you can always order seconds through food delivery, or even dessert. Food delivery ensures that you won’t have to risk losing your prime spot on the shore or under the shade of the biggest tree at the park.

Do, however, remain courteous to your delivery person. Decide on an obvious, easy-to-spot location to meet them at so they don’t wander the park aimlessly due to a lack of clarification. Deciding on a meeting spot (like the parking lot or nearby shop) is easier on the delivery person and will shorten the amount of time it takes for your food to get to you.

Study session

Summers aren’t always full of lazy days when you are enrolled in summer school. Just like any regular school term, you will have finals and you will probably be spending hours in the library cramming for your exam(s). When you’ve been studying in the library for hours, one of the worst things that can happen is getting hungry, rifling through your belongings, and coming up with a half-eaten granola bar from who-knows-when.

Instead of losing your perfect study spot — a whole table, working lamp, and multiple electrical outlets — order food delivery to satisfy your hunger and take a much-needed study break. Food delivery can range from full meals to small study snacks or much-needed caffeine.

Before indulging yourself, make sure you are complying with the library’s (or whatever study spot you chose) regulations regarding food and/or noise. You definitely do not want to be known as the person filling up the room with the smell of their food or the sounds of crunching away on their munchies.

Make sleepovers that much more fun 

Sometimes when you have friends over to spend the night, you realize a few bags of chips and liters of soda aren’t exactly going to cut it for the night. Skip the typical late-night pizza delivery and get food delivery for your friends’ favorite local Chinese food spot.

If you and your friends can’t decide on a single place, ordering food delivery from different spots makes it easy to keep everyone both full and happy.

Regardless of how late it gets when you want to order food, somewhere is bound to still be open and accepting orders. Food delivery will ensure that you get that food and not go through the trouble of venturing out late at night to a place you aren’t familiar with just because it is the only spot open with the food you want.

The ultimate #treatyoself

Some days, you’ll find yourself not wanting to get out of bed at all — and that’s completely okay. Everyone needs a solid rest day to recover from a busy lifestyle. You might not even see the purpose in having one in the summer, but spending long hours under the sun and being out and about on your feet all day will eventually take its mental and physical toll.

Even when you don’t want to leave your house, you will eventually get hungry and realize that you never did the grocery shopping you kept on pushing off by constantly eating out. Instead of trying to drag out the single sleeve of crackers and few spoonfuls of peanut butter you have, place an order for food delivery.

Pick one of your favorite food spots to treat yourself for the night/day. Nothing is better than enjoying your favorite takeout without having made the effort to go outside and actually pick up said takeout yourself.
