Interesting article from an expert on the occupational health & safety of our delivery partners drivers from which this is an important message :
"Perhaps consumers have a small part to play as well. We have grown used to expecting speed. Food should arrive hot and parcels should arrive on time. A delay of ten minutes can somehow feel much longer when we are watching it happen on a screen.
Yet behind that moving icon is someone dealing with traffic, weather, fatigue and the everyday judgement calls that come with being on the road.
If my food arrives a little late because the rider decided to slow down during heavy rain, I would rather not call that poor service. It may simply mean that someone decided it was safer not to rush."
I tell my team the same in our hot busy kitchen full of sharp knives, hot grills, hot fryers & a high risk of serious injury and permanent scars from trying that little bit too hard to go fast.
We all really care about you getting your food made perfectly and to you fast but as humans we have limits of speed v accuracy and some mistakes can be more than just a missed topping, we don't want people hurt ๐ค
Monday is our weekly day off and tonight is our monthly team building social night when the whole team gets treated to the all you can eat buffet ๐
We'll all be a little chubbier tomorrow when we reopen ready to feed you ๐
Hopefully the rain stops soon so you can get out and enjoy your day more
Jully & team

A food delivery rider moving between cars and motorcycles is now such a familiar sight that most of us barely notice it. We order a meal, check the app and
