orders in

Gets food delivered

Orders in means to request food delivery from a restaurant rather than cooking or dining out: We were too tired to cook, so we ordered in.

The phrase emphasizes bringing food to your location—typically home—as opposed to ordering out, which can mean either delivery or pickup.

Let's just order in tonight and watch a movie.
