South African Food Industry Set To Be “Outsauced”

CAPE TOWN - a new online takeaway ordering website has been launched to revolutionise the South African hospitality industry, allowing customers to order food online instead of through a telephone.

“South Africans have always been early-adopters,” says Robin Webb, founder of FetchMyDinner.co.za. “This is why we believe people will quickly realise the convenience of  sending automatic orders directly through to their favourite takeaways and restaurants all at the click of a button, eliminating the potential for errors in their orders.”

Notable features include customers being able to compare prices and menus, book tables and order food at the same time. “Basically, we’re a search-engine and price-comparison website for food,” explains Robin. “We’re focused towards busy people who know what they want. Someone can simply enter their post code, review takeaways and restaurants in their area of choice, book a table and order their food at the same time. No more lengthy waits for their meals to arrive.”

Why not  just pick up a cell-phone? According to Robin, ordering food telephonically allows for miscommunication, loss of information and ultimately mistakes in an order. Robin explains that allowing customers to order online eliminates the potential for errors as users have to “click on what they want” and extra information and prices are displayed right next to their order in real-time.

FetchMyDinner.co.za is an online platform connecting customers to takeaways and restaurants in their local areas.  The website functions as a price-comparison platform for South African takeaways and restaurants as well as an online food ordering and table booking system.

The promises are impressive but can this takeaway outlet deliver…
