While we’re now spending more all our time indoors, which would mean more time to cook; not everyone likes cooking and cooking every meal, every day. In the wake of Covid-19, as precautions get stricter and stricter, restaurants and caterers have been hit hard. Many of these small businesses are struggling to survive and have pivoted and changed their menus to accommodate home-style meals and include curb-pickup and delivery options.
If you want someone else to make you a meal, but are doing your bit to stay indoors and don’t want to venture out, below is a local food delivery guide comprising places in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban you can order from and wait at home for it to be delivered. If you want to add to the list, add in a comment below and we’ll update it.
