Pro Tips
- A Chinese phone number is required for food delivery — get a local SIM card first so the driver can call you
- Set your delivery address to your hotel lobby — drivers may not be allowed into the building, so lobby pickup is easiest
- "Man jian" means "spend X save Y" — order enough to hit the discount threshold for big savings
- First-time users often get a huge discount coupon — look for "New User" deals
- Lunch (11AM-1PM) and dinner (5PM-7PM) are peak times — delivery may be slower and more expensive
- Take a screenshot of the restaurant's menu to show hotel staff — they can help you order or communicate with the driver
- Meituan's group buy vouchers for dine-in restaurants are almost always cheaper than paying at the restaurant — always check before dining
- If you don't have a Chinese phone number, use Meituan through the WeChat mini program with your WeChat account
