How did you find the restaurant? Do they take CC numbers over the phone? In which case, how much do you trust them to keep it safe? Do they even have delivery

Do they even have delivery services? because most of my favourite restaurants never did until deliveroo/Just Eat came along. think about it, AFAIK you couldn't get KFC or McDonalds delivered in the UK, now they're the biggest players in food delivery. It was really only pizza that people expected to have delivery. So if a big chain like KFC can't manage to do deliveries on their own, how do you expect "Aunt Jessie's diner" to do it?
- CogitoCogito 5y agoI found the restaurant using the internet usually and then I called. And no I never tended to give my credit card because basically everyone would take payment on delivery. Though honestly I almost always pick up the food myself and almost never use delivery. This I still do today and basically no one asks for payment ahead of time so the whole credit card thing is entirely a moot point. Now if you specifically want to use delivery services for restaurants that don't want to run their own delivery services, then yeah I guess you'll need a third-party. I tend to pick up so that's never an issue for me, but sure then use these other services. Anyway none of this is really that important to my main point that I enjoy talking directly to the restaurants. Doing it my way might mean losing certain conveniences like delivery from any restaurant. I'm fine with that. I'd rather speak to a human anyway.
