🕐 Last verified: October 2026
TL;DR
⚠ What this guide cannot confirm
The steps follow Shuttle's official FAQ, website and App Store listing. We did not place a test order, so screens and button names may differ, and areas, hours and payment methods may change. If a step does not match what you see, ask Shuttle's live chat.

Before You Order: Check Two Things

Area and hours decide whether Shuttle works for you.

INFO Service area
The official site lists Seoul, Osan, Pyeongtaek, Daegu and Busan. VisitKorea (13 May 2025) named seven Seoul districts including Itaewon, Gangnam and Hongdae, Pyeongtaek, Haeundae, Gwangalli and Seomyeon in Busan, and Nam-gu in Daegu. Jeju and Gyeongju are not on these lists, and Seoul addresses outside the listed districts may not be covered.
INFO Hours
10:00 to 22:00 every day, public holidays included (official FAQ). Outside those hours, use another option.

Ordering Step by Step

Based on Shuttle's official FAQ; screens may differ.

1
Install the app
Shuttle is on the App Store and Google Play (buttons below). The app comes in 13 languages, but menus are in English and Korean only (App Store listing, version 5.2.33).
2
Sign up with your email
The official FAQ recommends creating an account with an email address. The App Store listing says phone verification is optional, and VisitKorea reports that a Korean phone number is not needed.
3
Enter your address to check the area
Enter your delivery address in the app or on the website to see whether your area is covered (official FAQ). If it is not, use another option; Baemin steps are in our Baemin guide.
4
Choose a restaurant and items
Menus are shown in English and Korean. Shuttle says it encourages restaurants to list in-store prices; any difference is set by the restaurant.
