Order Restaurant Meals from Nearby Stores
Glovo brings restaurant ordering into a city-based delivery or takeaway workflow. Users can browse nearby menus, choose meals such as burgers, pizza, sushi, pasta, or sandwiches, and arrange a delivery to the address they select. The app also supports picking up an order when a faster stop on the way fits the day.
That mix works for planned dinners and quick meals between other tasks. Restaurant choice depends on the city, while the same ordering flow keeps merchant selection, basket decisions, payment, and delivery progress in one place. A broad range of cuisines gives households, students, and office teams an easier way to solve a meal request without opening separate restaurant apps.
Grocery, Shopping, and Last-Minute Essentials
Glovo also covers the small shopping gaps that are easy to forget. Users can open supermarket and local-store listings, add snacks, drinks, ingredients, gifts, or other everyday items, and request delivery without making a separate trip. Pharmacies, florists, and other nearby businesses can appear where the service operates.
Because the catalogue is city-based, the useful part is choosing from what is actually available around a delivery address. This makes the app practical for a missing dinner ingredient, a last-minute gift, supplies for friends, or a few household essentials. Store selection, product range, fees, and delivery timing can vary with the local market and current merchant hours.
Delivery Tracking and Courier Support
Order progress is more useful when the handoff is visible. Glovo provides real-time tracking for delivery or takeaway orders, letting users follow the courier journey and see an estimated delivery time as the order moves through the city. The 2026.34.0 release notes also call out a modernized tracking screen for order and ETA information.
Glovo adds a support route for questions about an order, and its courier workflow can handle a pickup point and a delivery point for local errands. These tools suit time-sensitive meals, grocery runs, and small city requests where knowing the next step matters as much as placing the order.
Account, Payments, and City Availability
The welcome flow is built around an account step rather than anonymous checkout. Glovo presents phone-number entry with SMS or WhatsApp options, alongside Google and other methods, so returning users can use a familiar sign-in route before browsing their local selection.
Once an account is available, shoppers can choose among card, PayPal, cash, or restaurant-voucher options where supported, and selected markets offer Glovo Prime delivery benefits. Referral invitations add another account-level feature. These choices make the app more useful for repeat orders, but eligibility, payment methods, and Prime availability depend on country, city, and merchant.
