Thats why you have each others mobile numbers. They stay away from the door until their sure its you. They have to be careful as its directly billed to your credit card.

I refrain form even asking simple questions now. Ordering takeout in my home is banned by telephone because they always screw it up. If they don't have a website or appear on one of the many take out consolidation sites I don't eat it.
Same applies to taxis. I refuse to use RTA for pre-arranged rides, I only use Careem or Uber.
