At Takeaway Taxi we've always taken the view that we want a sustainable business, one that treats drivers fairly and our supplier restaurants fairly. So far this year the average we've paid our drivers for each delivery is just under £11, we don't pay the ridiculously low rates highlighted in this article. In addition, unlike the likes of Deliveroo we don't demand 30-40% discounts of the menu price of the restaurants on our platform. Even before the pandemic and cost rises in energy and food the restaurant industry was barely profitable. Our approach undoubtedly decreases the amount of business we do, but we would rather do things right and sleep at night. (PS - drivers wanted).
