| - We were thrilled with our first use of Foodie Call. We ordered online for dinner to be delivered at 6:30 from a nearby Japanese steakhouse in Huntersville where we live. Food arrived within ten minutes of the appointed time, and was hot and tasty.
The second time, we again ordered online early in the day for dinner delivered from the same restaurant. About five minutes before our food was to arrive, we got a call from Foodie Call, telling is that our food would be thirty-forty minutes late, because the driver got slowed by traffic, and BECAUSE THE RESTAURANT WAS CROWDED. Ten minutes later we got a call from the driver, telling us he was at the restaurant, and they no longer carried the entree I had ordered from Foodie Call's online menu. That told me two reasons to be displeased: Foodie Call was not placing the order with the restaurant until the driver arrived at the restaurant, and Foodie Call had an outdated menu on their website. I cancelled the order and we drove to the restaurant from which we had ordered dinner, about five minutes away. THERE WAS NO CROWD AT THE RESTAURANT. If anything the crowd was embarrassingly small. Foodie Call lied to us about the reason for the delay.
I do wish there was a reliable provider of such services, but, the fact is, Foodie Call is not it.
