Question about food delivery

My recent orders delivered by Deliveroo / Menulog were extremely slow. I ordered at around 6 or 7pm, just local restaurants, and 1 hour later the system still couldn’t allocate a driver. This happened to at least 70% of my recent orders, they will finally take about 2 hours to arrive. And of course food was a bit cold when they arrived. But my orders on Ubereats were mostly fast delivered in any time (15-45 minutes). I reviewed every order on Ubereats, but not on Menulog / Deliveroo (there’s not even a review button on Deliveroo app). So is it possible that when I ordered via these two platforms, the driver saw I’ve never reviewed their service so it’s pointless to take my order?

Appreciate the answers from drivers. Thanks in advance.

    Or that more drivers go for uber eats and there are fewer drivers in your area wanting to work for menulog/deliveroo?

    Ozbargain users really need to learn about Occam's razor. It is much more likely that it is something as simple as ubereats has more drivers.

        If I cook myself how will I redeem coupons?

    Has the weather been dreadful, discouraging drivers?
    Does Uber eats pay more to drivers in surge pricing?
    Those are my guesses. I don’t use any of them, they are a bad long term deal.

    I've never had issues with Uber Eats, no matter what the time of day. Could be close to midnight or a 6pm rush, it always seems pretty fast to me.
