foody started in Nicosia in 2015 and became the delivery app Cyprus actually uses, covering Limassol, Paphos and Larnaca alongside the capital. Delivery Hero bought it in 2019, putting it in the same group as e-food and deliveras across the water in Greece, though it kept its own name and its own character.
What it delivers is broader than restaurant food, and that breadth is the point on a small island. Supermarkets, kiosks, bakeries, butchers, wine shops and baby goods stores all sit in the app next to more than 2,100 partner venues in total, with pickup available where you would rather collect. On a market of that size, the winning move is not a better algorithm but a longer list of the specific places people already buy from, including the independent Cypriot restaurants that never appear on an international platform.
foody Market extends this with its own small warehouses, delivering staples, dairy and snacks in 20 to 30 minutes, and its range leans toward local goods and value on everyday items. That distinction matters because the island now has a genuine three-way contest: Wolt competes on a premium curated selection and assembly quality, Bolt Food fights hard on restaurant breadth across the four main cities, and foody holds the ground it knows best. Its parent's ownership is also in play, with Uber having agreed to acquire Delivery Hero in July 2026.
Ordering confirms a phone number by SMS. The number then does the practical work: a courier calling because a street in an older neighbourhood has no clear numbering, arrival alerts, substitution questions on a supermarket basket, and offers from restaurants and shops between orders. Take the confirmation on an additional number and that traffic keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your addresses, favourites and order history stay in foody.
How to buy a virtual phone number for foody
Choose foody in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.
Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.
The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the foody phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.
