These include <strong>free delivery on menu, ordering\/paying via the au PAY app, and using\/earning Ponta points.<\/strong><br\/>Even if you&#8217;re not an au phone user, you can still subscribe to Ponta Pass for 548 yen\/month (including tax), so it&#8217;s worth considering.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading styled_h3_2\">Advantage 3: Abundant campaigns ~ Deli Noodle Project ~<\/h3>\n\n<p>In collaboration with &#8220;Ramen Walker,&#8221; one of Japan&#8217;s largest ramen media channels, menu is launching a &#8220;Deli Noodle Project,&#8221; aiming to make home delivery of ramen a part of everyday life. <strong>From popular ramen restaurants with ratings of 3.5 or higher on Tabelog, excellent ramen portions optimized for delivery will be offered.<\/strong><br\/>Starting in April 2025, five new ramen restaurants \u2013 &#8220;Izouhachi Miso Ramen,&#8221; &#8220;Shina Soba Tanaka,&#8221; &#8220;Hakata Ramen Debuchan,&#8221; &#8220;Miso Mendokoro Hanadoan,&#8221; and &#8220;MEN Cry&#8221; \u2013 will be available for order through menu. The ability to enjoy popular ramen from these usually busy restaurants without having to wait in line is a very appealing feature.<\/p>\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8463529882006133\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><!-- Horizontal --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8463529882006133\" data-ad-slot=\"1641797304\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading styled_h2_2\">Disadvantages<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading styled_h3_2\">Disadvantage 1: The number of affiliated stores is still limited<\/h3>\n\n<p>Compared to its biggest competitor, Uber Eats, menu has fewer participating restaurants, and some areas are outside its service area. By 2025, <strong>Uber Eats has over 120,000 partner restaurants, while menu has over 90,000.<\/strong><br\/>Therefore, it&#8217;s possible that the restaurant you used to use on Uber Eats may not be available on menu. <strong>It&#8217;s a good idea to check in advance whether the restaurant you want to use is a member of menu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading styled_h3_2\">Disadvantage 2: Delivery fees are required<\/h3>\n\n<p>In addition to the price of the dish itself, <strong>a delivery fee will be charged depending on the distance from the store to your home.<\/strong> The basic fare is 300 yen for distances under 1 km, and an additional 50 yen is added for every 0.5 km thereafter.<br\/>However, <strong>Ponta Pass members can enjoy the benefit of free delivery, no matter how many times they order.<\/strong> Therefore, if you plan to use menu, we also recommend subscribing to Ponta Pass.<\/p>\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8463529882006133\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><!-- Horizontal --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8463529882006133\" data-ad-slot=\"1641797304\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading styled_h2_2\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n<p>menu offers many attractive benefits, including coupons totaling 6,800 yen for first-order and perks for Ponta members (such as free delivery).
