Now not everybody loves the old Uber Eats, 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: But what do you reckon? Is this going to be 16 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: good for these towns and the restaurants they're all bad? 17 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's gonna be good. Yeah, I mean, 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: we use uber eats. It's just another arrow in the 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: quiver of getting to an audience, and people need a 20 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: bit of convenient sometimes, and some of those locations that 21 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: you've talked about, I can see, you know, the campgrounds 22 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: are getting people will be sick of having snow was 23 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: on the barbecue and order up some Uber eats if 24 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: you had too many drinks in the sun to drive 25 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: to your favorite restaurants. 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So as a consumer, I see no downside 27 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: and Uber eats, right, it opens up all these restaurants 28 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: that I can't be theft going to. What's the downside 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: for restaurants. 30 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Well, there is a commission component to it, but if restaurants, 31 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean it might be five scene the sooner. It's not. 32 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: It's just a nice to have. It's great to get 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 2: your brand out to people that maybe can't travel into 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: the city to try your food, or they've got other 35 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: transporter shoes and they can get something to eat. We've 36 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: got one guy's head one hundred and thirty deliveries of 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: their Vietnamese for it's never even been to our restaurant, 38 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: but that he likes this one desh and orders it 39 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: all the time. So yeah, just another audience brilliant. 40 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Oh, Mike, thank you very much, really appreciated. Mike Egan, 41 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: owner of Monsoon Poon Prisoners of the Restaurant's Association. Thank god. 42 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm tired of people knocking the Uber eat. Do you 43 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: know what can I say? This Uber eats everywhere, please, 44 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and also Uber everywhere. If I have to go to 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: a small town and there's not Uber eats an uber, 46 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm always disappointed because I'm like, oh wow, inconvenient, and 47 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: this is what I had to do in Melbourne, which 48 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: actually isn't a small town, so more for me. But 49 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: I just couldn't be I don't know, I'm not gonna 50 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: make a very strong argument. Couldn't be faft. And so 51 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: in the end would put the little boy to bed 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: and then one of us would go out sort of 53 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: wandering the streets looking for something to eat. It's really inconvenient. 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 55 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: news talks.
