Before when smartphones weren't introduced, People were having difficulties to order food although they have telephone service by calling Pizza for example. They have to listen well to what the operator says before they might get the wrong order and if you wanted to book a taxi you have to call them as well and state your address. GPS wasn't well known back in the '90s until now when cab services can pinpoint your location to pick you up on the spot.
With today's technology. Smartphones were a big hit in the market and apps were developed for the Google Play Store and iOS Store. Fastfood chains are slowly developing these apps for their customers for easy delivery. It is simple to install it by going to the app store of your phone, search it, install it and order it right away.
In the Philippines, we have a Grab app. Grab app offers lots of services which are GrabCar, GrabTaxi, GrabFood, and GrabDelivery. Grab is very convenient for most mobile users because it has GPS location as long GPS or Location is turned on the device before booking and the driver will just locate you for pickup. MiCab app offers the same but just taxis that are available and they are usually fully booked. Thanks to technology helping customers and drivers.
For Food Delivery Grab offers mostly within Cebu City only until they will expand more for locations that aren't available for the time being but it is super convenient to order it that comes with a picture on the app so you could see what the food looks like. Imagine you don't have enough time to go outside and eat but then you could order food from a restaurant and eat it at home without your presence at the restaurant. then wait for 30 minutes and the delivery rider will inform you when he arrives. Grab Food has other competitors too such as Foodpanda not all of them are available in different locations in Cebu.
Another game change joined when Grab app has GrabCar and GrabTaxi but Angkas! Angkas is a motorcycle-for-hire app that could beat traffic quickly. All Angkas riders are trained by driving etiquette. It is used by most students to beat the traffic at Cebu City during rush hours. Also, the fare inexpensive compared to taxis and Grabcar. Riding with Angkas will keep you safe and they are not reckless drivers they drive at a normal speed of 40km/h to 60km/h as the max speed as per guidelines.
When Public WiFi will be installed at certain locations. It'll be much easier for customers to book a ride home or to work if they do not have mobile data promo registered on their mobile phones.
