If Yogiyo stops at 본인인증 or payment, the account requires a Korean identity and phone check that the language setting does not remove. Shuttle Delivery is a separate service, not a Yogiyo mode.
Yogiyo’s own FAQ is blunt. First-time members have to prove their ID once: “요기요 첫 주문 회원의 경우 주문시 최초 1회 본인인증이 필요합니다.” That is 본인인증, and you can only do it “as a customer registered with an Alien Registration Card and a phone in the same name.” So you need both an ARC and a Korean phone number in the same name, and prepaid SIMs cannot pass (“본인명의 인증이 불가한 기기: 선불 휴대폰”). Checkout then makes you confirm a code by text, and even with English in the app-store listing, the ID-check and checkout screens you have to get through run in Korean only. On top of that, payment is its own problem: “해외카드는 이용이 어렵습니다,” foreign cards are hard to use.
That is the ID check, phone, and payment trio, all real, all confirmed from the live FAQ.
Sometimes, if you pick the right way and accept the trade-offs.
Use a verified account (or Toyoni) when:
When Shuttle does not cover the restaurant, Toyoni can place an eligible Yogiyo order on a verified account, handle the Korean checkout, and pass on driver updates. We send the order details as proof. If the order cannot be completed, we explain that before charging the service fee.

Not in the app. Yogiyo's FAQ says first-time members need to prove their ID once with 본인인증, and you can only do it with an ARC and a Korean phone in the same name. Checkout also makes you confirm a code by text ('휴대 전화 번호를 인증해 주세요'). It used to be looser, but today no Korean line means no in-app order. The trick people share is the Yogiyo website with pay-cash-on-delivery (see below).
Usually no. Yogiyo's FAQ says it plainly: 'foreign cards are hard to use' (해외카드는 이용이 어렵습니다). If you have heard Alipay or WeChat Pay now work for Korean food delivery, that is Baemin, not Yogiyo, so do not assume Yogiyo takes them.
Yogiyo says straight out that prepaid phones cannot pass the ID check ('본인명의 인증이 불가한 기기: 선불 휴대폰'). A prepaid tourist SIM is not in your name, so 본인인증 fails, and if the driver cannot reach you, the order gets cancelled. This trips up a lot of travelers.
Mostly no. App-store listings now show English, but the screens that decide whether you can order (the ID check and checkout) still run in Korean only, and no Yogiyo Global gets rid of them. The app that truly works in English for foreigners is Shuttle Delivery, a separate company with a different, smaller list of restaurants.
That happens a lot. Yogiyo's FAQ says 'foreign cards are hard to use' (해외카드는 이용이 어렵습니다), so a foreign Visa or Mastercard often gets declined at the last step. The trick people share is ordering on the Yogiyo website and paying cash on delivery, but it does not always work and cash on delivery is not offered for every order. When the card will not go through and cash is not an option, we place the order for you on an account that passes the Korean ID check, with a card that works.
No Yogiyo Global or English app gets rid of these rules. App-store listings may show English, but you still need a Korean phone tied to your ID, and foreign cards are limited. The app that truly works for foreigners is Shuttle Delivery, a separate company.
Pick the app you use. A real person will help you there.
