An Uber Eats/Deliveroo moped rider was stabbed to death in North London yesterday. He is thought to be an Algerian known as Taki. Is anyone setting up a fundraising page for his family? The 3 BA cabin crew so tragically killed in a motor accident raised over £40k since wednesday.

one guess who did it? |

By:
Why do they attack these riders, cash, bike or both? Algeria is probably safer than Landan tbf, but the grass is always greener.......

Be nice if his employers set up a fund or an insurance pot for their drivers and families
Food delivery startup Deliveroo is one of the UK's hottest and most valuable startups, worth at least $2 billion and probably more after Amazon's participation in a $575 million investment. Business Insider understands the company had been hoping for a new valuation of at least $4 billion.17 May 2019 |

Murder rates about the same, 1.4/100,000 to 1.6/100,000 Road deaths 23.8 for Algeria 3.1 for the UK |

By:
1.6 is for London it's 1.2 for the UK as a whole.
North Yorkshire the road death capital of the UK I think. Country lanes far more dangerous |

Don't get the concept myself. Why do you need a middle man (the App company) to ring the takeaway? Just ring them direct

If this was a copper or a fireman (or an MP) we wouldn't hear the last of it.
Gentleman goes to work, probably on min wage, and gets attacked, stabbed and killed. 'Taki' and '30 yrs' is we all know about him. No surname. It's like he doesn't exist. Well guess what.....  'Det Ch Insp Neil John said the stabbing appeared to be "spontaneous". Deliveroo confirmed the victim worked for the company, while Uber Eats said it was "looking into it".' - I'm sure his family will be relieved. |

Khan, Dick(common purpose) Lammy and Abbot don't give a toss. As long as they have their politically solid enclaves to support them, while Dick sails along behind them - these are the clowns, along with May, cheered on the stop the stop and search campaign.
But will Patel do anything about it?? |

Most up here on a set wage , Factored in with a small charge added , plus they get a tip as after while you know the various drivers ,Seen a few will bring the Kids with them , can you imagine that in London

The number of people admitted to hospital for falling down the stairs is in the region of 100,000 a year. It's 4,000 for knife crime

None of that makes sense to me detraveller. It is at extra cost, that's why it doesn't make sense.

By:
I am not sure if I understand you properly. You asked what was the point of the app, the middleman bringing you the food, when you could directly call the restaurant's takeaway service?
I explained why its more profitable(or less expensive) for the restaurant to use that third party for food delivery. The restaurant only pays when there is an order, and then too a very small amount, compared to having a delivery boy available at all times with a vehicle. The cost difference is huge. It is at extra cost, that's why it doesn't make sense Extra cost to whom? |
|
By:
The middleman is Deliveroo, not the delivery driver
|
|
By:
it's an extra cost to the consumer and the restaurant. In reality market econmoics means it's borne by the consumer
|
|
By:
They've thrown 100s of millions if not billions at it in advertising and set up costs. It's the consumer that pays
|
|
By:
Of course if an alternative is picking it up yourself then the delivery driver is a middleman too. Our local curry house offers a 10% deduction if you pick it up yourself.

I had the opportunity to look at Lieferando's business. They are the german equivalent of Deliveroo.
Here, the customer doesn't pay anything extra. He can pick out any item from the restaurant's menu and have it delivered at his home for no extra cost. The restaurant does pay, but I am saying they pay less than what they would if they had their own delivery service. For instance, one restaurant I looked at had about 5-6 Lieferando drivers present there at one point. Each driver had 2 orders. The prep time for the orders was under 10 min and the delivery time under 15 mins. Getting the orders to the restaurant and relaying it to a driver also took about 1-10 mins, depending on the time of the day. Can you do a cost comparison for a restaurant giving out 30% on a delivery of 12 orders(avg order cost 15 Euros) within an hour compared to the same restaurant having to deliver 12 orders using its own staff and vehicles? Surely the app/middleman is the better option for the restaurant? |

By:
When you use deliveroo in UK, do you pay the same price as shown on the restaurant's menu or do you pay extra?
|
|
By:
The prices maybe the same but the consumer pays with higher prices. Of course if you are savvy like aour local curry house, you recognise this by offering discounts for collection. Take aways should be cheaper, they don't need waiters and as large premises.

or people to wash up and clean up afterwards

By:

How does the consumer pay extra when he pays the same amount as the guy who dines in? |
|
By:
well detraveller you are wrong on 2 counts.
1. You are not comparing like with like. Like for like is takeaway v takeaway, not takeaway v sit down 2. If costs go up, prices go up. |
|
By:
I do have the feeling that we probably aren't talking about the same things. But I fail to understand why you keep saying the costs increase. Let's consider a restaurant. Its delivery costs are $x. Using Lieferando, it reduces its delivery costs by half. What costs are going up, that you think are passed to the consumer?
|
|
By:
If of course the cost to the consumer for a takeaway is the same for picking it up as it is for having it delivered, they won't pick it up. I don't get why a restaurant would want that.
|
|
By:
anyhow best to call it a day on the subject!
|
|
By:
Yes the costs are the same. And yes that puts the restaurant at a disadvantage and I have wondered that too, as some of the deliveries Lieferando has to do are less than 50m away. That is indeed a problem, but probably the restaurant has to do what the otehrs are doing in its neighborhood.
By the way the app isn't a profitable business in my opinion. Lieferando's running at a loss, an awful amount of money spend on ads, offers and equipment. Earning potential is limited. Probably just investing into the future as they keep buying any small company that crops us offering the same service. |

From experience,the delivery side of a takeaway is by far the biggest headache.its probably the nature of the job but it does attract more than its fair share of ne er do wells.if you find a clean polite reliable driver with a reliable motor then he’s gold dust.iv seen all sorts over the years,drivers clearing off with the money,drivers pretending they’ve been robbed,untaxed cars uninsured drivers,drivers selling drugs along with the food.one woman sold school holiday weeks holidays10 times over in a non existent caravan taking all deposits & did a runner,apparently the shop was overrun for weeks with irate holidaymakers!
If you can outsource all that **** then it’s a no brainer |
