How To Use Elema, China's Most Popular Food Delivery Service
Winter weather is here to stay, and to make the most of your Netflix and chill night is to have a slew of dining options at your fingertips. With restaurant takeaway's being made easier with food delivery APP's, it's time to get local and learn to Elema.
Step ONE: Download App. If you haven’t started using “Elema” (Chinese for “Are you hungry?”) then you’re missing out. Between options, convenience, and savings, Elema opens a whole new world of take-out ordering.
Step TWO: You’re now clicks away from satisfying all your cravings. Go ahead and click on the “我的” (me) button in the bottom right to setup your account. You go girl! (or boy; Elema is gender neutral)
Step THREE: Here you will have a load of Chinese options and buttons for you. You’ll want to select the biggest, as per usual, aside from the empty profile pic. (Don’t worry you can fill that in later with some sexy photos of you eating noodles)
Step FOUR: Link up your Elema with your Chinese phone number and you’re all set! It’s the standard procedure of plugging in your number and receiving a code to input and confirm! You’re so close I can taste it!
Step FIVE: Once your account is created the first and most important thing to get out of the way adding your address. Click the first button on the account page, at the bottom of the following page (picture shown above) you’ll see a plus sign urging you to add an address, order some delicious pizza, and eat your face off.
Step SIX: The form is full on Chinese, but approachable if you’ve ever had to create online accounts before. From top to bottom, start by inputting your name, gender, phone number, and address. Directly underneath your building/street address is where to put your apartment number, and select between “Home, Work, or School.”
**HINT**: When inputting a not Chinese name it must be less than 12 characters. If your full name is longer than that try using only your first name or a nickname.
Step SEVEN: Now it’s time to begin your adventure. Eleme’s primary appeal is the amount of awesome deals you can find on their “Discover” (发现) page. Once hitting the discover tab you’ll be led to the screen shown above highlighting “daily deals!” (天天特价)。 From hear you can search until you find some delicious dumplings, sweet & sour chicken, or anything else your heart desires.
Step EIGHT: Once you select a restaurant business turns back to normal and you simply add the dishes you wish to devour while watching Netflix. Elema is a leading take-out provider and should be able to satisfy any weird munchy cravings you may have. Once the dishes are selected hit green for go!
Step NINE: The next and last page will see to your receipt and order details. Along with price, you’ll also see any discounts/coupons applied on this page. You’ll want to take note of the button labeled 用餐人数 (number of people eating) to ensure you get enough condiments or silverware if necessary! Once all is confirmed hit green for go! Just like that your order is complete and you’re on your way to chow town! ENJOY!
