The bottom rail defaults to Home, but switch to Orders to see your order history, Points to view your points balance, and Gifts to send someone a gift card, a bottle of beer, wine, or hard liquor, or flowers.Search for exactly what you want or take suggestions: If you know what you're hungry for, you can search for places, cuisines, and dishes in the top search bar under Food. But if you're not sure, Delivery.com will suggest popular restaurants near you. You can sort or filter your search by cuisine (organized alphabetically from American to Wings), ratings, distance, estimated delivery time, price, minimum delivery, or A-Z. You can also show only restaurants with special offers or free delivery, or ones that are new or offer order tracking. It's the same process for alcohol and groceries.Myriad cuisines to choose from: There are 39 cuisines to choose from, organized around countries, dishes, and dietary restrictions. They include American, Asian, Bagels, Brazilian, Breakfast, Brunch, Burgers, Cafe, Chicken, Chinese, Deli, Desserts, French, Fusion, Gluten-free, Greek, Halal, Hot Dogs, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Nepalese, Pizza, Russian, Salads, Sandwiches, Seafood, Soul Food, Southern, Spanish, Sushi, Thai, Vegan, Vegetarian, Vietnamese, and Wings.Yelp ratings, too: If a business doesn't have a Delivery.com rating or you specifically want to see Yelp ratings, then you can enable them and then switch between Delivery.com's and Yelp's under the Filters tab.Robust search results: Depending on what you're searching for, you'll see things like star ratings, level of expense, delivery minimums, delivery times, and delivery distance in search results.Laundry: For Laundry, you'll need to specify which services you need (wash & fold, dry cleaning, or tailoring) and when you want it picked up and dropped off, and then you can compare prices, distances, and ratings, and schedule pickup and delivery.For wash and fold, tell the app how much laundry you have (5-100 lbs) or select "Not sure" and your service provider will figure it out for you and update the bill accordingly.For dry cleaning, you can have the service sort your items for you or you can make it easier on them and itemize, yourself.For tailored items, tell the app whether you need hemming, a button fixed, a patch added, or a zipper repaired. There is also a field to add special instructions for any of these.Bonus: You'll get a free laundry bag with your first order.Price comparisons: Not sure which laundry service provider is cheapest?
