I have other things to do, and don't drive. That's the incentive.

Cold food has never been a problem for me with these services.

I'd pick Deliveroo over a restaurants own delivery service any day because it means not having to keep track of numbers, having tracking, and trusting their customer service. In fact, to the point that while Deliveroo allows restaurants to do their own delivery, because you lose the tracking I tend to avoid ordering from restaurants that do.



When I don't want to make my own pizza dough and order it, I just call from the google maps link. It doesn't take longer than finding any delivery app in my smarthone.

And I will just wait 10 minutes, hop on my bicycle and 2 minutes later I get my pizza right out of the oven and head home directly much faster than any delivery rider would because they mutualize orders and let the first pizzas lose most of their heat while waiting to have sufficient orders.


None of the places I would like food from are within a 2 minute, or 10 minute bike ride. Maybe a 30 minute one. And uphill most of the way back.

Google Maps seems to me like an awful hassle vs. searching for the dish I want and picking a restaurant based on what they serve rather than where they are based.

Also, Deliveroo rarely combines orders, but if you have a problem with that (can happen for very popular locations) you can pay for priority, so that part isn't an issue with them in my experience.
