Meituan Waimai (美团外卖): food delivery in China

A major China food-delivery platform for meals, drinks, and everyday items, typically paid via QR wallets.

Traveler Tips

  • Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay first—most checkout flows assume a QR wallet.
  • Use the in-app address/community picker when possible; it’s often easier than typing a full address.
  • Order once early (even something small) to confirm payment + delivery instructions work.

Things to Watch Out For

  • Menus and delivery notes are often Chinese-first.
  • Some account flows may require phone verification.
  • Delivery drop-off instructions (building/gate) can be confusing without local context.
