All of which sounds idyllic for the confirmed 'can't cook' person like me! The big issue here is that the database is limited to the 20,000 takeaways that are registered with the scheme and which have the necessary electronic hooks for JUST EAT to feed orders into. Which may mean extra driving - in my case, my local area has three or four thoroughly excellent takeaways, all within walking distance, yet none of them was listed here. So take JUST EAT with a pinch of salt (pun intended!) - it'll work better in urban environments where you're more likely to have larger shops/restaurants with bigger brand names.
Here's 'JUST EAT - Takeaway' in action:
Tapping the compass icon looks up your location from your phone's services - this works very well, finding matches from the slightly limited JUST EAT database.... And note that the top matches aren't very close at all, but are 'Sponsored', i.e. the companies have paid to be put higher in the listings....
Looking in a more urban environment, my local city (Reading), there are more and better matches, but it's still not close to all the takeways that are on the ground. (right) You can filter according to preference....
Having found a likely takeway, you can drill into its menu....
... and order away - a JUST EAT account is needed and your order gets passed on to the takeway, so that it's all ready for collection by the time you get there.
Mind you, in my experience, 99% of takeways are people ordering from their local walk-to outlet - and they already have the number in their speed dials and they know the menu off by heart. Or is that just me?
