    Why do people even use Just Eat? Phone the take away/restaurant direct so you know where you stand.

    I find it easier and quicker to just order online via just eat than to actually phone the takeaway directly. You know exactly how much the food is going to cost and you are less likely to have the takeaway mishearing and making a mistake.

    Plus you can pay by card. No need to scramble around the house looking for money!

    And having waited two hours for food you are posting a moan before eating it, next you will be telling us it's cold!


    In effect it was only an hour, from the time the OP was expecting it to the time it was delivered..


    The compensation culture of this country astounds me.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Certainly our local Chinese & Indian charges more on Just Eat and Hungry House than they do if you buy directly from them, and certainly by more than the 3-5% cashback. Likewise they both accept credit cards for telephone orders.

    Really it comes down to if you want the convenience of ordering online for a premium or ordering on the phone for less.

    So does mine. Some do and some don't from what I've seen. I just order the cheapest way. Occasionally it can be via the cashback sites.

    It's quite obvious really - not all of us live within a reasonable distance from a cash machine. :)
