Exc: New #takeaway booking software @book_slots could save North East restaurants from going bust following #coronavirus #lockdown #COVID19 #pandemic - restaurants can use it for free, saving them up to 35% commission charged by national delivery firms. https://t.co/ll4JrvgO13

If you run a restaurant or takeaway, this WILL help you.
Did somebody say...
It won't cost you a penny. What a difference compared to the eye-watering commissions charged by some well known delivery companies!

Want to avoid paying Deliveroo up to 35% + VAT during a global pandemic? Use Bookslots 🤩

@Doosra_kitchen @MarinaOLoughlin And this .... https://t.co/GNHLx2XTdL

[Bookslots @book_slots]

@Doosra_kitchen @MarinaOLoughlin I suggest reading this article. In approving Amazon’s investment into Deliveroo, the British government has supported a loss making business which preys on hospitality. https://t.co/nS0FE87QFb

[Bookslots @book_slots]

@Doosra_kitchen @MarinaOLoughlin Deliveroo & JustEat have predatory pricing which reduces margins so much that restaurants & takeaways rely on volume to make any money. HOWEVER, if social distancing is adhered to, most kitchen teams are smaller and cannot deliver volume leading to delayed or cancelled orders.

[James Chiavarini @JamesChiavarini]

🚨🚨🚨 We need your help! 🚨🚨🚨 Please RT!!

Amazon backed @deliveroo is ripping off small businesses like ours by slapping us with a rate hike to 35% whilst the chains only pay half of that. /1

[Bookslots @book_slots]

Behaviourally, people are more accepting of ordering & paying for their food in advance than paying a deposit. It works for takeaways and this is no different except people are enjoying their food in a restaurant rather than at home. #NoMoreNoShows with Bookslots.

If restaurants make smart choices, they can be sustainable, maintain integrity by using top quality ingredients and support their suppliers. We’re in it together.

[Ken Holland @northcountryken]

Been talking to a lot of other fellow small producers supplying the hospitality sector over the last few days & the verdict is it's very tough out there, the U.K. is going to be a much poorer place if we lose them, common theme is that it's going back to buying cheap ingredients
