Whether you’re hosting a house party, a team lunch, or simply gathering with loved ones, GrabFood offers a variety of tools to support get-togethers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Here\u2019s a round-up of all the features you need to know to simplify planning meals for your next social gathering. Plus, bonus tips to celebrate birthdays, milestones, and holidays with your loved ones\u2014even when you can\u2019t be there in-person.<\/p>

1. Use scheduled delivery\u00a0<\/h5>

Plan ahead for your house party by selecting a preferred delivery slot in advance. This allows you to have greater control over the delivery fee you are comfortable with and avoid unexpected fee hikes when demand is high.\u00a0<\/p>

During peak hours, prices for food deliveries<\/a> surge as more people in your area start placing orders. Planning your deliveries ahead of time can help you beat the rush hour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Group Order allows multiple people to add food items into a shared cart. This eliminates the burden of one person having to manage orders for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

All you have to do is to share a link or QR code with your friends and colleagues, inviting them to add items to an order. Everyone in the group can track the order and get a breakdown of the cost based on what each person has ordered. If you prefer, you can also choose to split the bill equally among everyone in the group.\u00a0<\/p>

3. Save when you eat out with Dine Out Deals\u00a0<\/h5>
