Is this the norm now, service charge from takeaway

  1. My partner ordered this through the app, wouldn’t have completed the order had i seen it myself. Is it purely a thing with apps or would the same have occurred if I had phoned up.

  2. Yeah, all the apps I use from flipdish has a charge when getting delivered or collecting
    Don’t think you would get the charge if you had went to the take away and ordered there

  3. Is it the cost for a plastic tiffen or a bag/box? I’ve seen this before to cover takeaway costs vs dine in with no charge.

  4. I went on the local Chinese takeaway’s website and even found their prices were cheaper than Just-Eat and they didn’t charge for collection. I think I saved myself about €1.50 on the order. Small gains.

    It might be worthwhile checking their actual website if they have one, in case you can place orders on that.

  5. If the store used a third-party takeout order taking website, yeah, probably standard-ish. Even for “cash-on-delivery” :/

  6. I agree. Takeaways shouldn’t include service charge.
    Unless you’re eating on the premises.

    Who’s to say you ate there and posted the pic for Karma clout?

  7. I work in a takeaway, you would be surprised how much money you could save if you would order on the phone or in person instead of using some app

  8. You want your food cooked? That’s extra kiddo

    No a service charge for a takeaway that’s just handing your food over the counter is no normal

    They’re twats

  9. Are we really to the point where we’re cribbing and crawing for a fucking 50c service charge from just eat? The service itself has that charge the takeaway has no say

  10. Yeah they add a €0.50 charge to everything regardless of what option you take.

    You want to collect the order? €0.50 service charge

    You want us to deliver? €3.50 delivery, oh and an additional €0.50 service charge.

    You want to pay in cash? €0.50 service charge.

    You want to pay by card? C’mon bro you already know it’s a €0.50 service charge.

    Won’t be long until we get hit with a €0.50 service charge for looking at a restaurants menu even if we don’t order anything from them.

  11. Thanks UberEats and JustEat for being c**** and slicing commission on each order.

    Take away shops, do us a favour and change to FlipDish (Irish owned, based in Sandyford and says they don’t rip you off)

    EDIT — AH nuts. So they are all pretty crummy with their Service Fees. FlipDish, though 50¢ is better than a percentage of each docket.
