We are using our smartphones less and less for actual phone calls and more for mobile web browsing, text messaging, video chats, and apps. This implies that we do not like calling people anymore, not when it is far easier to simply text them or pull up a website. Of course, that applies to ordering takeout food as well.

Many restaurants that provide delivery services have a website where you can order your food online. This tends to work the best if you live in a city rather than a rural area, as many rural restaurants do not deliver their food. The ability to order on the website is a great option, but what if you are not sure what you want to eat or what restaurants deliver to your address?

That is when you need a service like Seamless or GrubHub. These companies provide a database of restaurants in major cities around the nation that will deliver food. Users simply enter their address and Seamless or GrubHub provides them with options of where they can order food. There is even the option of restaurants that do not deliver, but from which you can pick up your order.

Seamless is a newer service than GrubHub, and therefore has fewer options within its database. There are fewer supported cities in the Seamless service than in GrubHub, but Seamless is far more mobile. Seamless has a new iPad app as well as support for iPhone, Android, and even Blackberry. GrubHub only has an Android app and an iPhone app.

For people who are busy at work and do not have time to go out to eat, ordering local food using GrubHub or Seamless makes perfect sense. These services will help you decide where to order from, what other people have enjoyed, and will order your food for you. All you have to do is pay and enjoy, all of which can be done while you work.

These services are also great for people who are visiting or new to a city because it can help users learn what restaurants are nearby as well as which ones deliver. Using the customer ratings can also be helpful because if a restaurant consistently gets bad reviews, users will know to avoid ordering from there. Otherwise, users could only learn this information by trial and error, with potentially bad results.

The next time you are thinking about ordering takeout, check out Seamless and GrubHub to see what is available near you. If they do not currently have any restaurants in your area, you could always send them a list of suggestions they can add. That way, you are both helping the service get better and helping yourself have future access to the convenience of ordering food online from one central database. Sites like Seamless and GrubHub will make sure that you never go hungry again, not as long as they can find a takeout place near you!
