❓ FAQ

Common Questions

Is Makanini a GrabFood alternative?

Not exactly. They serve different needs. GrabFood is for food delivery — it brings food to you. Makanini is for food discovery — it helps you decide where to go eat. Think of them as complementary tools, not competitors.

Can I order food through Makanini?

No. Makanini doesn't handle delivery or ordering. It simply picks a restaurant near you and gives you directions. You then go there yourself. This keeps the app simple and completely free.

Is Makanini really free? No hidden fees?

100% free. No subscription, no delivery fee, no sign-up required. Makanini earns through ads shown in the app, which also earn you MKN tokens. The app will always be free to use.

What makes Makanini different from just Googling restaurants?

Google shows you a list — you still have to choose. Makanini removes choice entirely. One shake = one answer. No scrolling, no comparing, no debating. It's the decision, not the search.
