I’m wondering about where this app came from.

Did a local taxi firm build it themselves?

Is someone selling a white label uber clone?

Is there an open source project out there?

What other big tech platforms are ripe for cloning for local businesses?

I think there a couple of different white labelled apps. Yours looks the same as my local one (Huddersfield), but I’ve used others that looked different.

Do you really need UberEats/JustEat/Deliveroo?

I best most of us order from the same 4/5 restaurants. Just call them direct or order on their websites.

Usually their delivery charge is less than the BigTechTax

AwesomeBooks are a fantastic Amazon alternative. For every book you buy they donate one to someone who needs it.

I posted my Amazon wish list and found most titles were actually cheaper.
