A new Sheffield food delivery service which launched this week has run into problems after their app and website couldn’t be accessed on iPhones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast Lane Delivery was inspired by the Dubai delivery app, Talabat, promising to provide delivery within 20 to 30 minutes anywhere in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, their service for iPhone users ground to a halt within hours of the launch, last month, preventing many customers from ordering their food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owner, Kamran Hussein, 44, said: “The app is easy to develop but it’s when you’re putting it together to make it work that’s where the issues lie.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Hussein explained they were working on the technology to rectify the problem and were hoping for it to be fixed this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director, Assaf Hussein, was keen to explain that overall the app has been a succeess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cAs regards to the approach from the customer, it’s been a great response.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owner explained Fast Lane Delivery is different from Uber Eats, one of their competitors. They don’t charge stores any commission, instead they add 20% to their prices, but claims that is cheaper than the costs of their competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast Lane Delivery have big ambitions. They intend to start with Sheffield as a hub and expand across South Yorkshire and then move into other cities including Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, and Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The business is running early deals, starting this week, which includes bread, milk and six eggs for 99p.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company operates within a three mile radius, concentrating on local convenience stores, and using special offers to cater to different demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, they claim, by focusing on London Road, it targets the customers around the area and provides them competitive prices that would support local businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Hussein said: \u201cWe’re a local convenience delivery app that provides a delivery service with offers and convenience and obviously. We’re trying to be as cost effective for customers, rent retailers and drivers as possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
