Why Ordering Direct From Your Restaurant Beats Just Eat Every Time (2026)

22 February 20267 min readBy Jaflong Tandoori Team

If you've ever compared prices on Just Eat to ordering directly from a restaurant's website, you've probably noticed the prices are different. Here's why ordering direct is almost always the better choice.

The £1–£3 Price Difference Nobody Talks About

Third-party platforms charge restaurants between 15% and 30% commission on every order. At Jaflong Tandoori, we offer 10% off all collection orders and £5 off delivery over £40 — deals not available through apps.

What Happens to Your Order on a Third-Party App

Your order passes through multiple systems before reaching the kitchen. Customisations like "extra mild" or "no onion" can get lost. Direct orders go straight to our kitchen team — if you have questions about spice or allergens, you're speaking to the people who cook your food.

The Freshness Problem With Aggregator Orders

Aggregator drivers often collect from multiple restaurants. Your food might sit for 10–15 extra minutes. Our direct delivery orders are dispatched immediately — no multi-stop pickups. Check our delivery times for current estimates.

Why Jaflong's Direct Orders Are Prepared Differently

We prioritise direct orders — fresher food, faster prep, and complete accountability. Every order is covered by our Freshness Guarantee.
