UberEats offers you just that. This on-demand food delivery app runs separate from the ride-share application we all know.

At launch, UberEATS already offers some of the best food Johannesburg has to offer, such as Casalottis, Momo Baohaus, Krunch, Fishmonger and Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream. There is a catch though - the restaurants you can order from need to be within 3.5Km.
