    Advice for my takeaway

    Just to add i am a tenant, I know the landlord well and he has done me a very good deal on the rent, so although it looks a a big place i would have paid the same for a dingy little takeaway from anyone else

    Advice for my takeaway

    Yes we are paying the drivers as we were finding 35% plus vat a bit of a kick in the teeth every time the Just Eat invoice came through, and the service from them was substandard, but i do have a feeling we will have to go back to using them as at the minute when a few orders come through that...
