eFood
eFood is a recent addition to the food delivery apps in Bangladesh from the Fooecommerce platform Evaly. However, they started providing services in 2020. You can order food via their website or mobile apps. But the eFood app is available only for Android phones; they did not bring apps for iPhones yet.
Unlike Foodpanda, eFood doesn’t have a wide range of restaurants on its list. They provide food from some selective restaurants. Though they are still growing, eFood already created a buzz in the community. It got popularity due to the cashback from Evaly, through which users can order food for almost free.
However, eFood does not offer cash on delivery. A user will need to pay advance through debit/ credit card or the balance from their eWallet. But the customers will have to pay the delivery cost of 40 Taka as cash to the delivery man. The delivery person gets the 40 Taka as their service fee.
Primarily eFood offers its service in Dhaka and Chittagong only.
