16839
BURGERMELBBURGERSYD

update: Sorry if you missed out on a Free Burger today. The good news is we're also offering free delivery until 3pm - just enter the coupon BURGERMELB or BURGERSYD at checkout.


Information about this deal was found on social media and various websites such as Lifehacker and Urban List.

Thanks to pyramid for the following information:
From Deliveroo facebook page: "Mark your calendar, burger lovers! The countdown to FREE BURGER FRIDAY begins. This Friday, head to our app between 12 - 3PM and click on the burger icon to view participating burger joints. Find the special promo code at the top of the menu and enter at checkout to get your burger FREE!"

It means you will need to enter promo code at checkout to get free burger.

Deliveroo has teamed up with a bunch of burger joints to offer up free burgers to people across its Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane delivery zones on July 15 (this Friday),. Here are some of the burger shops that are participating:

Sydney:

Barrio Cellar
Jack’s
D’Munchies
Surlys
Down N’Out by Hashtag Burgers
Chur Burger
BondiTonys
Paradise Road Diner
Mamas Buoi
Jimmys on the Spit

Melbourne:
St Kilda Burger Bar
San Jose
Saintly Burger
The B.EAST
Hello Sam
Huxtaburger
The Beaufort & Ikes
Thaiger Burger
Danny’s Burgers

Brisbane:
St Baxter
Buffalo Bar
Hop & Pickle

Available from 12pm to 3pm, all you need to do to get your free burger is download the Deliveroo app or visit the website and place your order. Burgers are limited to availability and up to the value of $20. As far as I can tell this is completely free, I can't see any websites mentioning their usual $5 delivery fee. Confirmed below (thanks quop):

Someone asked on their FB page:

Is it actually free or is there a deliveroo fee and an under $25 surcharge. $9 burgers*

Deliveroo replied:

no delivery fee! And the $20 off code applies to any burger

  • What a scam. Let's report them to accc.

  • what a joke!

  • Ordered mine - had to pay $1 as they have a surcharge for orders <$15.. but that's ok (as long as it arrives) - supposedly 40min wait
    Took a few tries to get the app going.

    • FYI - there were only two places available in Melb CBD for me - Thaiger Burger and Mama's Buoi… just had to scroll through the list of restaurants and see the ones with the free burger friday image on it
      Perhaps they limit it to pretty close to your location

  • It worked but they still charge the delivery fee.

    • Ditto. $3 charge over for me. Still it worked, better than the $23 charge (which is ridiculous in it's own right for a single burger costing $13/14).

    • Darn, I did not complete my order in time because I had to update the paypal app and now Huxta is closed, haha what a flop.

  • +3

    Aside from the inability to handle the load, a neg because it didn't offer the sites advertised at the time, and doesn't even appear there were any offers available at the opening time of 12.

    I was checking the one that I could find and it already displayed 'sorry, all gone,' before midday.

    And why even advertise available until 3 p.m. if they had, what maybe 10 burgers per store or some other insufficient offer? It just builds up false expectations.

  • thaiger is already out of free burgers. deleting deliveroo account. have been trying to access and checking out but doesnt work

    • I got mine from Thaiger

    WE'RE SORRY, BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG
    Something didn't go as planned. Sorry about that! (Error Code: 500)

    Managed to order from Thaiger burger, 44 mins delivery time.

    Huxtaburger "Sorry if you missed out on a Free Burger today…." It's been 15 minutes
    edit Same message for Thaiger Burger

  • It seems that I can order but they won't let me add the promo code when my account already has the $20 referral credit.

  • Got a $12 burger, $5 delivery fee, $4 order less than $20, -$20 credit, paid $1. Let's see if it arrives.

  • +2

    Error in last page.. Was $4 and jumps to $29 in payment

  • +2

    Constant time out and when accessible the promo's gone. Not planned nor handled very well at all. Wasted 30 mins trying this.

    OP, this neg is nothing to do with you. It's directed at Deliveroo.

  • Seems their website is broken due to cannot search an address

    Clearly a publicity stunt. They must have had 100 burgers or something per store.

  • +1

    Can't handle the server load at all and all of the 3 free burgers available in Melbourne were gone before 12PM, pretty pathetic.

  • +2

    Guys,

    I just ordered a burger from Huxtaburger.

    $14 - burger
    $5 - delivery
    $4 - charge for under $25
    $2 - tip for driver
    ($20) - special discount thing
    $5 - total paid

    I used my credit card, pay pal doesn't work. Also Io think putting in a tip of $2 help me.

    Delivery 40 mins. I am 5 mins walk from Huxtaburger in city.

    EDIT: was expecting it to arrive 1pm, now looking at 1:15pm

    • Ordered mine at 12:07, nothing yet :/

    • Guys,

      Ended up getting my burger at 1:30pm, around 1hr after I ordered it. The Deliveroo fellow was in a bit of a hurry, I spied around 5 other deliveries in his box.

      Burger itself was a bit cold but all things considered, was worth paying $5 for. Unsure about future use, if your lunch order is less than $25, you'll get pinged $9 for delivery, otherwise $25+ is $4 delivery I think, bit steep for a lunch time order.

      Was unfortunate not everyone was as luck as me, but hopefully they will run something similar again in the future.

    Im still amazed, a free dynamic site like Ozbargain can take a lot of traffic. But a multi million dollar business/website such as deliveroo doesnt function.

    • your not wrong that they should be expected to support the load

      but the kind of traffic the two sites your comparing are completely different

      • Alexa Au rankings
        Ozbargain 97
        Deliveroo 2279

        How different would the traffic be?

        • +1

          a site like deliveroo would have significantly bigger and more advance backend service rewquirements and load. a database of all its users, drivers, restaurants, scheduling, gps tracking, pricing, etc etc. Ozbargain is mostly user management and posts with comments

  • +1

    "FREE BURGERS" is a bit misleading…where's the *T&Cs about surcharges?

  • +1

    Finally, the app works but now it says
    "Sorry if you missed out on a free burger today. The good news is we're also offering free delivery until 3pm - just enter the coupon "BURGERMELB" at checkout"

    Now I want a burger!!!

  • Now 36 minutes

  • +8

    Pokemon Go has better servers than this

  • Well colour me shocked… my order went through, no delivery fee, apparently arrives in 34 minutes. I'm still kind of skeptical it will even work! hahaha

    • Out of interest, did you have the $20 credit on your account or did you use the promo code?

      • I punched in the promo code for my burger joint, and it said "$20 credit has been applied to your account". This was on the app and I just signed up earlier this morning.

        • Cool, thanks for the update. I'm pretty sure mine has used the $20 credit on my account, rather than the promo code - but hey, free burger, I won't complain.

        • @Smiley82: Yeah, looks like we're both in the same boat but free is free! haha

        • +2

          @Poimandres: We are really sorry, but Hop & Pickle could not fulfill your order at this time.

          Hop & Pickle has communicated to us that their kitchen is currently too busy to fulfil your order. We apologise for this inconvenience, and we hope you consider ordering from one of our other partner restaurants in your area.

          Your card will not be billed.

          Well… guess I'm negging this, and never using the site again. Well played!

        • @Poimandres:

          That sucks! I'm expecting it too. My delivery time was 12:47. The app still says 19 mins and hasn't moved. Was that a text or an email?

        • @Smiley82: Email first, then text.

        • @Poimandres:

          Yep - mine was cancelled. App uninstalled.

  • HAHA "Huxtaburger is currently closed"

  • +1

    Promotion code ROOBBAR is not valid

    (profanity) off. I'll go buy sushi.

    • Try Hop and Pickle. Mine went through.

  • Wouldnt even load

  • +1

    What a flop! NEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

  • Said the code had been already credited against my account - maybe entered too many times, it wasn't working at first, or could be an issue with past credits? Ended up getting my order through for St Baxter by creating a new account. $3, 55 minute wait. Wonder if people will be complaining about having to pay these small amounts, since it's not 100% free.

  • Got my burger after waiting 10 mins for the app to refresh. So far no delivery fee or anything, so the code worked. Just waiting for my burger.

  • +1

    Dear Deliveroo,

    You ran a better campaign than Malcom Turnbull, but you over promised.

    Boo.

  • +4

    This was a pathetic marketing ploy by Deliveroo. It looks like a modified version of the good ol' bait and switch, the bait being the free burgers, and the switch to the free delivery.

    Will be un-installing the app now.

    • Nope. It's closed.

      • Total fail

    • +1

      i just tried but the free burger is gone… got this message:

      Sorry if you missed out on a Free Burger today. The good news is we're also offering free delivery until 3pm - just enter the coupon "BURGERSYD" at checkout.

      meh…looks like coles chicken for lunch today

    How many detractors do you think they will get from this hahahaha

  • i managed to order from the forresters in surry hills, i know the place though so i'm not expecting much

    • whats the code for forresters?
      im in surry hills and it doesn't even come up!

      • it was rooforr, but its showing as sold out now

        • haha. im like 500m away and cant even get it on the app anyway! lucky you.

        • @chocfrogs456:

          oh the apps dead, you need to use the website

        • @terminal2k: app works for me for others including down n out which it shows as closed, and marys. (all sold out) but doesn't find forresters. LOL

        • @chocfrogs456:

    Very poor promo imo. Sold out in 15mins in Brisbane CBD (both available vendors) and now they can't even handle any orders from other restaurants due to "especially high demand in my area". Great planning Deliveroo! Total FAIL

  • +1

    Rubbish, zero burgers available

  • +1

    Huxtaburger closed :(

  • +1

    I applied the promo code prior to ordering and it said $20 credit applied. When I ordered it wasn't applied and charged me the full amount. Currently on the phone to support but its been 16 mins already.

  • Finally managed to get through, applied the code but price stayed the same, now it says I already used the code. Uninstalling…

  • +1

    Deliveroo said the free burgers were sold out at 11:50!!

  • Sorry if you missed out on a Free Burger today. The good news is we're also offering free delivery until 3pm - just enter the coupon "BURGERSYD" at checkout.

    Never again.! Wheres my burger!? pitch fork

  • +1

    Massive failure of a promotion.

  • Didn't work for Brisbane St Baxter…

    • Decided to do eat in at St Baxters. Actually wanted to try this place.

      300 orders online and crashed the servers. The guys working there looked a little stressed (to say the least)

      Seems like foodora seems like a better option than this mob, who can't handle simple load-sharing in the cloud.

  • Lets keep refreshing their site so paying customers cant order either.

  • +4

    All burgers already went out.

    Pathetic promotion!

  • +3

    Checked at 11.55am and down n out said no more free burgers. Way to go deliveroo.

  • +1

    Useless. Now I have to get off my butt and walk somewhere to get my food. How annoying.

    From what I aw though everything in Melbourne was gone by 12:15, couldn't even load the site or app a majority of the time.

  • No burger for me :0

  • +1

    you lost more goodwill than expenses in burgers deliveroo..

  • I had it in my cart but now "Sorry, The B.East is currently closed". They opened at 12 and closed before 12:30.

  • +4

    What a scam

  • +1

    Can't even get the free delivery let alone a burger…

  • +1

    LOL. B. East is closed and there is a 125 minute wait for a burger.

    What a SCAM! Not free at all. And their website and app slow down. Poor service.

      • ESTIMATED DELIVERY 12:52 Today

        …yeah, that's not going to happen.

        • Have you called the restaurant???

        • @YOTR: Nah, can't be bothered for a free burger.

    • +1

      We are really sorry, but San Jose could not fulfil your order at this time.
      Your card will not be charged.
      We would be delighted if you would consider ordering from one of our other restaurants.

      • Bummer. Mine's still waiting to be accepted.

        Mine got cancelled too. How do I change my vote to a neg?
