Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
Did somebody say I much prefer to go and collect my carry out food?
But I get you might already be minced when the munchies hit, so no judgement.

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I use them a lot when I'm working away, especially deliveroo. Hotel food isn't always the best and this way I you can order what I want when I want it. What's not to like about that?
Can't get any of those services at home though. Dominos is the only delivery and has been used twice

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
Probably around ten times at this point. The food often doesn't travel well though and it's more expensive so I only do it when I've nothing to cook and don't have the energy to go out.
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
Depends where I order from. The pizza place and peri peri place (both local shops, not chains) are so efficient at getting stuff out for delivery it’s normally with me in about 25-30 mins so works out as quick as actually going for it. Anywhere else I go and collect

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
We've used it a fair bit over the years. Just a bit easier with young(er) children.

Used once. Parts of order were missing, what was there was a bit cold, so I’d always collect now.
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I use them all the time. Two people kicking round a house with various mental health things happening, having someone drop off food can be a life saver
An absolute unit
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
Yeah, we use it fairly regularly (maybe once or twice a month). Mainly JE as it has the places we like on it. Went through a phase of using UE when they were doing lots of offers to gain traction, but it's much of a muchness between the two.

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I always assumed JustEat was simply an interface to the restaurant and it was the restaurant's own delivery drivers ? Used them loads of times.
My wife has used Uber / Deliveroo several times to get McDonalds delivered It always arrives luke-warm.

That's exactly what it is isn't it? Our stuff always seems to be brought by the restaurant's own drivers.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 9:13 am I always assumed JustEat was simply an interface to the restaurant and it was the restaurant's own delivery drivers ? Used them loads of times.

That's what I thought. So I can't judge them in the same poll as Uber/Deliveroo.duncs500 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 9:15 amThat's exactly what it is isn't it?

JustEat good, others meh.
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I never really noticed a significant difference in performance between JE and UE.

McDelivery is always slow and they miss something each time. All the other local takeaways are fine. If I'm already in my slippers and smoking jacket, I don't want to go out again and my time is worth more than the couple of quid that it costs for delivery.

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
Never used them - I always prefer to collect (except Dominos which is nearby and always arrives piping hot). And I'll go and collect in my slippers (as I've got to the point in my life where I just don't care )
Weirdly, despite being reasonably urban and not being out in the sticks at all, Burger King, KFC and local independents is all we can get

2 of the 3 are big clients of ours, none of the above go to my house though.

If I'm in my slippers, I'll just be smoking crack. I'm not smoking jacket. That's hardcore s**t.

I had to give up Cake. My Shatner's Bassoon couldn't take it any more. Jacket seemed to be the logical progression.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 10:05 amIf I'm in my slippers, I'll just be smoking crack. I'm not smoking jacket. That's hardcore s**t.

Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I'll usually collect but that's just not possible with restrictions in many parts of Khanistan. In which case I'll only use places which really wrap their food up well! Wagamama are excellent at this. I've seen some dodgy shit from the delivery drivers just waiting outside restaurants for my food. I think the worst was one person dropping a 5 Guys order and the bag semi opened and dropped a load of fries on the pavement - he scoops the lot up, chucks it back in the bag and sticks it in his moped to go deliver
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
i've been using JE and UE a lot lately as I'm having a bit of a depressive start to the year so I'm not much for cooking and my experience is that the JE drivers are as good as the resteraunt as it's their drivers, and the UE drivers are way, *way* more keen to pick up your order (rather than take the job, then drop it, needing someone else to be assigned, etc) if you put a small tip on...
They still try to deliver to the wrong part of town though. "Oh, let me put the postcode in again" Again? For the first time, maybe....
Re: Just eats/Uber eats/deliveroo
I have used them (can't remember which one or ones) very occasionally, generally when staying in a hotel in order to try out some sort of fast food place without bothering to go looking for it. None deliver to our house and I do not feel I'm missing out. It would be nice if Uber came to us though.
