Restaurant delivery app Deliveroo launches with free cupcake giveaway

Deliveroo, a new restaurant-only food delivery app, is coming to town - and they are giving away 5,000 cupcakes on the app’s launch day, 20 November 2015, Friday. You can find these free cupcakes handed out by the Deliveroo people in the CBD area, together with an S$15-off promotional code for first time users of the app.

Deliveroo is a food delivery app that coordinates meal deliveries from independent restaurants to offices and homes. According to their site, they boast an average delivery time of 32 minutes, and charge a fixed delivery fee of S$3, regardless of the restaurant you pick from the list. Currently, the app has more than 140 restaurants working with them, including Cedele, Chopsuey Cafe, Kinki Restaurant, Meat Liquor, Nandos, Potato Head Folk, and PS. Cafe Petit.

You can see the list of available restaurants after keying in your postal code and delivery timing. Restaurants that do deliver but are not available are listed on a separate table.

A quick test on our end revealed that the app delivers within the Central Business District area, as well as some other places that are just outside the CBD – such as Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar. Deliveroo will be announcing the official list of places that they will deliver to on their launch day, together with other districts for the future. The list of restaurants covers a wide range of cuisines and prices, and the app also has a team of specialists to provide for small groups of office workers looking to provide lunch – be it for a meeting or for a team lunch.

The cupcakes are from Plain Vanilla Bakery, and they will be given away at the following locations, and they will be easy to spot thanks to their Kangaroo mascot that will be on the scene:

  • 11.30 a.m. – 12.30 p.m.: Giveaway at One Raffles Place
  • 12.40 p.m. – 01.10 p.m.: Giveaway at UOB Plaza and Boat Quay
