Reason this is here
To
let everyone know who uses Foodhub ( owned by Touch2Success ), the
online takeaway ordering portal ( FoodHub ( Touch2success ) ), gives moderation of the reviews that
you leave on there, to the takeaways! This means, that although you
leave a review for them, it doesn't get published until the takeaway
has approved it ( bad on FoodHub ( Touch2success ) ). This may means that certain negative reviews could be
left in moderation, which then means the star rating is higher than it
should be and you as a customer, are then looking at a majority of
positive reviews, which means you are more likely to place an order. A
definite win for the takeaway!
Having
messaged Foodhub via live chat (which is another subject
altogether......put it this way, we had to go through automated
processes, to get to a live person) they confirmed that the reviews are
moderated by the takeaways. They did say that the reviews would get
published (we had a review that hasn't and was written about a month
ago).....We were asked if we had contacted the takeaway....our response
"Shouldn't need to, as it should be an independent review system, not
moderated by the takeaway.". They confirmed that the feedback (review)
is sent to the management of the takeaway so they can take measures to
improve the situation......our response "Yes, and they can see the
reviews, by looking at the reviews that are there and respond
accordingly". They also said that they have made a note of our feedback
and will implement a better and more refined review system.
If
you are looking for reviews of any takeaway that are on Foodhub, we'd
suggest that you take a look on either TripAdvisor or Google (search
google 'takeaway name' reviews - e.g. Tandoori Tonight reviews) as they
publish every review, usually
within a day, if not instantly and it should give a true reflection of
the takeaway. Click on the links below:
As
a side note: it doesn't seem that the reviews are in a normal order
either.....most sites who have a reviews section are in chronological
order with the latest review showing first?!
This
website will be live until Foodhub ( Touch2Success ) has implemented
what they say they will and we hope that's where the reviews are
published automatically and the takeaway can respond accordingly (also
some chronological order to the reviews too!)
This website has no association with Foodhub, Touch2Success, TripAdvisor or Google and its opinions are of the website owners.
In
addition to the above: we have read on their Facebook page that they
don't give refunds, as they expect you to take it up with the takeaways
directly. It seems that also the app shows takeaways as open even
though they aren't open!
