International visitors can receive food delivery at hotels and Airbnb stays in Korea. Being able to order and pay in an app is separate from whether the accommodation permits delivery receipt.

Which services can you use?
This is not a ranking that guarantees everyone will successfully order through a particular app. It distinguishes conditions that short-term visitors without a Korean phone number or Alien Registration Card should check.
Baemin (배달의민족)
Baemin officially states that you can order food after SMS verification with an overseas phone number without creating a separate account. It announced that non-members can pay in Korean won with overseas credit cards from March 2024. It also provides app guidance in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
Not needing a Korean phone number does not mean SMS verification is unnecessary. Check that your overseas number can receive SMS messages and that your card is actually approved. Approval is not guaranteed for every card issuer or card type.
The official app information lists email sign-up, payment by overseas card or PayPal, and English customer support. Phone verification is optional, but required to use Shuttle Credit. The app interface supports 13 languages, while menu content is currently available in Korean and English only.
Enter your accommodation address first to check restaurants and areas available for delivery. Do not assume that orders are available at every address nationwide.
This is a separate delivery service where you order and pay within the WOWPASS app. Its official guide describes ordering without a Korean phone number, identification document, or Korean bank account, and collecting the order at a hotel front desk.
The linked guide was updated on 4 November 2025. Recheck currently supported hotels, areas, hours, and conditions in the app. This differs from paying with a WOWPASS card in a general delivery app, and Airbnb support was not verified in this review. It also does not mean that ID requirements are waived for other procedures, such as card issuance.
In this review, we could not sufficiently verify from official sources the complete ordering process in Coupang Eats or Yogiyo for visitors without a Korean phone number or Alien Registration Card. We do not conclude that use is unavailable, but we also do not present these as confirmed ordering routes. Do not apply Coupang Shopping or Coupay policies directly to Coupang Eats conditions.
If you use an agent product such as Creatrip, first check whether it is currently sold, the delivery address, operating hours, service fee, and cancellation conditions. Grocery delivery and freshly prepared food delivery are different services.
Four checks before ordering
Accommodation permission and collection point
Ask the hotel front desk or host in advance about rules for outside food and delivery collection. An app showing that delivery is available does not guarantee room-door delivery or that the front desk will accept or store the order for you.
A number that can receive verification texts
Baemin's non-member order route requires SMS verification using an overseas number. Check that the number can actually receive the message. Do not assume that a data-only eSIM can receive SMS messages or complete Korean identity verification.
Payment approval on the order screen
Support for overseas credit cards does not guarantee approval for every issuer, debit card, or prepaid card. Check the supported payment methods and final approval result on the order screen. Also review refund and cancellation conditions before actual use.
Korean address and restaurants available for delivery
Confirm your accommodation's Korean road-name address, building name, and map pin, then enter any detailed address the app requests. Minimum order, delivery fee, estimated time, and opening status vary by restaurant, address, and time. Use the final order screen as the reference.
From ordering to collection
Confirm whether delivery is permitted and where it should be collected with your accommodation.
Enter the accommodation address in a supported app and check restaurants that can take orders.
Complete any required verification, then check the menu, quantity, and selected options. If menu translations or special requests are unclear, ask the restaurant or customer support before ordering.
Check the total including the delivery fee, estimated time, and cancellation conditions, then pay with a supported payment method.
Check order status and app messages, and collect the order yourself at the place permitted by your accommodation. Contact in-app customer support if there is a problem.
Collect safely
Do not share a shared-building entrance code in the delivery note without your accommodation's permission. First check whether you can collect the order in person in the lobby or at the building entrance.
Do not assume that hotel staff will order, pay for, or store food for you, or that the courier will be allowed to come to your room.
Do not put card details, identification documents, or verification codes in accommodation notes or public messages. Complete payment and verification only in the service's official screens.

Meaning
Ask the accommodation

제가 건물 입구로 내려가서 직접 받겠습니다.

Say that this is the food you ordered.
Frequently asked questions
Can I not order delivery if I do not have a Korean phone number?
Not necessarily. Baemin officially describes non-member orders with overseas-number SMS verification, while Shuttle describes email sign-up and optional phone verification. Verification is required to use Shuttle Credit, and you should check each service's current conditions.
Can I have delivery brought to my hotel room door?
It depends on the hotel. Ask the front desk about permission and the collection point before ordering. A delivery-available address does not guarantee room access or that the front desk will receive the order for you.
How much are delivery fees and minimum orders?
There is no common fixed amount. They vary by restaurant, address, and ordering time, so check the total, added fees, and minimum order on the order screen before payment.
What if verification or payment fails?
Check the number you entered, whether you can receive SMS messages, and the supported payment method, then contact official customer support. If your area is served, check another supported app or ask your accommodation what help may be available. Do not bypass the process by borrowing another person's name or verification code.
Official sources and verification scope
We compared the official public information at each link on 20 October 2026. The check date is not a date of on-site or real-payment testing, nor is it the operator's document update date. Conditions may change, so recheck the official app immediately before use.
