Online food ordering / delivery services
Which one do you all prefer?
I have always used Talabat but their service has been awful lately - pay by card and confirmation doesn't come through so you have to go through the online help BS which takes forever, site crashing, v slow delivery (not really their fault but it is to a point) etc. So whats everyone else using? I'm looking for selection of places, coverage in Dubai, ease of use etc. Cheers |

I use Zomato and Deliveroo...both have always been excellent in terms of keeping you update with your order.

Re: Online food ordering / delivery services
when you say 'online food ordering' do you mean ordering your groceries online?

Re: Online food ordering / delivery services
Zomato but most of the time found it quickly to run down and collect the order myself.

Re: Online food ordering / delivery services
Zomato, Talabat, Ubereats, Deliveroo...
Sometimes use the Entertainer for delivery but it has the hassle of calling and providing the coupon etc. |
Re: Online food ordering / delivery services
I've always used Foodonclick, never had any issues so never felt the need to try any others.

Ubereats and Deliveroo for me. Some of the restaurants that I used to get direct delivery have now converted.
I love tracking my lunch on the app lol |

Whilst I have / will use Zomato and Foodonclick, Deliveroo tracking the rider makes life a lot easier. Order lunch, carry on working. Deliveroo message when he's left and on his way....walk home...turn TV on, lunch arrives. Lovely. |

Cheers for the comments. May have to try out a few of these as Talabat is swiftly going downhill.

You're better off phoning the company providing the food direct you know, it's quicker, direct and the restaurant don't pay 30% in commission, so you get better quality.
Try it and see. |

Try it and see. I hate ordering food online - I'd rather phone as that way I know they have actually received it and there is less scope for bullshit from their side. Sometimes I walk over the road, order and have them deliver it later. |
Re: Online food ordering / delivery services
Zomato for example, I've never seen a Zomato delivery bike (not that i look for them, they use the restaurants.
My usual order is on the restaurant's screen when i call in, as is my address, I just confirm it, they say 20 minutes and it's here. And I'm putting money directly into the restaurant's pocket, not giving it to a nameless app. I'm a big believer in SMEs not faceless apps that want to know my friends list, log on with fb etc. All that is valuable for marketing, so they sell it, and you get more shit in your inbox/texts etc. |
