Ordering food in China: what works in each situation?
There is no single foreigner-only ordering route. In a restaurant, you may scan a table QR code, use a paper menu, or ask staff to enter the order. For hotel or home delivery, a major platform or mini-program usually needs an account, phone verification, a precise Chinese address, payment, and a way to reach you. At a food court or street stall, the reliable pattern is point → confirm → pay → collect. Platform language, phone-number support, card acceptance, and hotel delivery rules can vary, so treat the visible order result and the property’s instructions as the final check.
