Ordering food online is now a part of everyday life, no matter where you are. After a busy day of sightseeing or a night out, you might just want to relax and have food delivered to your hotel or guesthouse. For many tourists, language barriers can make this challenging, especially since most Korean delivery apps don’t accept foreign credit cards. Shuttle makes it easy to get your favorite meals, whether you’re craving local Korean food or international dishes.
