Never get anything delivered. I always have a supply of (home made) frozen meals for days where I would be tempted to get take away.
This food delivery craze will end when the true cost of getting the food delivered is passed on to the consumer. At the moment there is a fight for market share so the consumer is getting things cheap. You can already see some of the resturants rebelling against the high costs.
Local pizza place said it cost him 27% of his order. I always go down there to pick up because it’s a nice chat.
He told me many of his existing customers started using delivery service, more than the rate of new customers. So now he’s ■■■■■■ at half his customers, and the delivery service.
Plus, I reckon once every 2 months we get some bozo at the door from Uber eats, claiming that we have ordered, and they don’t understand when I try to give them directions to the next street of house.
Once I ordered Indian which took close to 2hrs to get here (Claiming my street wasnt on Google maps) but when I complained they ended up cooking a fresh batch and delivering it quicker than original driver who rocked up after the fresh batch.
You can only be niche for so long. In 18 months Maccas has gone from not delivering to being the 2nd largest company delivered to homes, behind the “apparent” best in class tech company Dominos.
Funny they now use 3rd Parties because their tech is actually shithouse.
Can order almost anything you want. We control menu to not overwhelm with choice, and eliminate some items that don’t travel well, but drinks and icecream are definitely delivered.
As a customer? UE charge between 5-6.95 to deliver. KFC are charging $8.95 via deliveroo and Menulog ( who are dying a slow death). Everyone else on D’roo’s platform are around $5.
Never thought I would see Maccas in frankston go out of business but it’s gone. How bad would you have to be to not run a McDonald’s in frankston at a profit.
