I was already leaning towards the opinion that many of these services were likely to be ephemeral. Some may have been set up purely to milk money from investors and will never turn a profit. Some may be honest endeavours but will ultimately fail. Some may have a workable business model that will break if/when legislation ever appears to make the gig economy more fair to the workers. Even if two or three survive all that, market forces may mean takeaways switch allegiances frequently in order to get the best deal and it would be no more sensible to map them than it would be to map the "dish of the day." And now, as you point out, some of these will be chancers who are not working in co-operation with the takeaways and the takeaways themselves may not want to be associated with them. Overall, this tag seems to be a bad idea. Just tag that the takeaway itself offers deliveries by some means. We don't care if they have their own driver(s) or if they make use of these services, just that they offer deliveries. See the takeaway's website or phone them for more details. If you want to risk using a delivery service app, that's down to you and the app installed on your phone. You'd need the app to make the order anyway, so you don't need us to map which takeaways it claims to service. -- Paul
