Delivery apps have become extremely popular in Brazil, particularly in major cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where they serve as a major part of urban food culture. Companies like Uber Eats, iFood, and 99Food are dominant players. In the USA, similar apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub have revolutionized how people order food and goods. The term has become so embedded in daily usage that many Brazilians use 'app' as a standalone word when referring to delivery services.
