Asheville has it's own food delivery services

Check out Takeout Central or Kickbackavl. Takeout central has an app or the website: https://www.takeoutcentral.com/asheville/restaurants/delivery/ Kickback is only online: https://www.kickbackavl.com/ Doordash, postmates, uber eats, etc. do exists, but the delivery is usually longer and doesn't go as well.
