Meals on Wheels V Food Panda

[sharktooth]

Now and again we get food delivered if we can't be bothered cooking. Used to use Meals on Wheels for a few years, but Food Panda came on the scene with half of the delivery price. Unfortunately their website and app need a bit of work and their drivers can be a bit clueless, but they will get there in the end.

Looks like Meals on Wheels have competition on their hands...

Doesn't sound like competition to me unless you are a Cheap Charlie.

Or an intelligent consumer, perhaps.

Indeed Sir, we are in agreement. We'll leave the geriatrics to their own bewilderment....

Ya a web site that is half baked and drivers that are clueless. I take that to mean they either screw up the order or can't find your accommodations.

Let me at them.

I will stick with Cheap Charlie.

I have always found the service from MOW to be very good.

I don't think I would change to a new company to save a few baht on the delivery price

[daoyai]

Don't they have exclusive deals with the restos? Meaning the resto only uses one service or do some use both services?

Changed to food panda a few months ago and personally think they are far better. The android app is really convenient and I find their website better made than mow. Also they are much cheaper (about 50% cheaper).

The problem I had recently with food panda is that they changed the min. order price on most of the restaurants. I just don't understand why, how does this affect anything? With min. order price of 250 I can't order a single meal for myself anymore, I always get around the 180-220 baht. Totally retarded...

I've found MOW to be good, there's always Mike on the end of the phone if there is a problem with the delivery or order, I've used Food Panda and found them to be a bit 'corporate', I prefer to use the family businesses here if at all possible! There is another food delivery that has appeared on the scene called Yum Yum Delivery, cheap delivery prices and a wide range of restaurants, tried them a couple of times for Thai food and found them to be good.

Options are good for us and I love them keep them coming personally I used MOW a few times and found them to be great and reliable

[jonwilly]

Used MOW for about 8 years.

Good service and Mike phones if any problems at his end.

I agree Mike is very helpful. However I think everyone welcomes healthy competition. Food Panda will only get better and I see more and more of their delivery bikes on the street.

I use Food Panda now and again. They're 'ok', but some of the restaurants are pretty poor.
