London takeaways arrive cold more often than in the rest of the UK

  1. It’s the drivers doing multiple drop-offs in one trip. I don’t understand how they thought it would possibly work.

  2. Maybe if drivers were not paid per delivery then they would not overload themselves like this.

  3. Restaurants prob packed with orders and same with drivers.

  4. Takeaways in London have become terrible value and of rapidly declining quality since the latest financial kerfuffle began.

    Ironically in the motherland in the north they have upped their game according to my non scientific opinion.

  5. Do Londoners have a different definition of “takeaway” or something? A “takeaway” is when you go and collect, a delivery is when you ask them to bring it (hence the app is “deliveroo” not “takeroo”).

    Probably very provincial of me but I prefer to go and pick stuff up for this reason; you know it comes directly to you (so it won’t be cold), you can check the order’s correct whilst you’re still at the restaurant, you know it hasn’t come from some ghost kitchen somewhere with less than acceptable hygiene standards and you can have a sneaky beer whilst you’re waiting. If you – gasp – *phone up and order* as well, the business doesn’t have to pay some extortionate fee for the app.

    If you insist on being lazy, you will pay the price in more ways than one.
