drop eats

There are sixteen places to order from and around 135 dishes between them, each with its own menu, its own options and its own prices. Build an order the way you would anywhere else, add a tip, apply a promo code if you have one, and check out.

Then the ride. The courier crosses a real city laid out on a street grid, stopping at red lights, keeping right, waiting for pedestrians. They message you along the way and you can message back, and if the ETA is testing your patience you can run the whole thing at double or quadruple speed.

Sometimes there is a second drop-off on the way, which is exactly as annoying as it is in life, and exactly as satisfying when they finally turn onto your street.

When they knock you can open the door, or tap the bag and let it burst. Delivered orders pay Drops, and there are eight free deliveries a day. After those, the food arrives on the house: same order, same ride, no Drops.

No real money is involved anywhere, and there is no real food at the end of it. It runs in the browser with nothing to download.
