Chain Restaurants Offering Free Delivery During Pandemic

Chain Restaurants Offering Free Delivery During Pandemic
Posted
and last updated

While heading out to dinner at your favorite restaurant isn’t possible right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some restaurants are still offering takeout and delivery. Many are even making delivery free to encourage business — some with a minimum purchase and others for every order for a limited time.

While the free delivery offer applies to customers nationwide, keep in mind that delivery areas vary, so a certain restaurant may not be offering the deal where you live. Many deliveries also take place through services like Grubhub and DoorDash, so if those are not available in your area, free delivery will not apply.

Take a look at all the national restaurant chains we were able to find that are currently offering free delivery. Each delivery deal is subject to change and many are simply for a limited time and do not offer end dates, so make sure you check before placing your order.
