In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Botillerías sell beer, wine and pisco for a get-together and many deliver; the hours when alcohol can be sold are set by law and by each municipality, sales to under-18s are illegal and you may be asked for ID.
