Dial-a-Dinner

Standout deliveries: The Chippy (traditional English fish and chips), Percy’s (fantastic deli food), Madison’s (who knew you could get steak delivered to your door these days?) and amazingly for the hungover; Panadol.
Good points: A great selection of menus and they accept all major credit cards.
Bad points: To see the menus as a non-member, you have to download a PDF, which at peak times on the site is often quite a slow way to peruse the selection of food on offer... especially if you're hungry.
Average delivery time: 50 minutes-1 hour

Website: A huge range of restaurant menus to choose from with everything from sushi to tapas. However, at peak times it can take “I’m about to eat my own hand” ages to get your order. It is not unusual to wait at least an hour.  

Deliverance

Standout deliveries: Cococabana (you know you’ve made it when you are getting some of the best foie gras terrine in town delivered to your door), The Boathouse (fantastic ribs or moules marinieres) and finally, condoms.
Good Points: You can register to the website and create your own page where you can keep a list of your favorite restaurants for future reference.
Bad points: You can only order online, which is a little scary…and you have to download the menus again…oh the frustration.   
Average delivery time: 45 minutes- 50 minutes

Website: Basically dial-a-dinner with a different name and slightly more focus on quality, fresh food from higher-end establishments.

Food By Fone

Standout deliveries: Takeaway doesn’t have to unhealthy if you order from the Life Cafe menu or screw it and load up on raspberry cheesecake from the Ironwood Bakery.
Good points: The website looks prettier than all the rest and it’s easier to use.
Bad points: Don’t forget to check the minimum order, which can be anything from $100-$500.

Website: A fresh easy-to-use website, which features all the menus on the website and you simply pick what you want and call with the reference number.   

Food By Web

Standout deliveries: Traditional waffles from Belgium Waffle Boy.
Good points: There are some good lunch options including Subway and several Japanese bento boxes.
Bad points: The website can be slow and prone to crashing or distorting especially at peak times. The hotline is also only available from 11am-3pm and 4pm-10.30pm, which is not very compatible with odd-timed cravings.
Average delivery time: 45 minutes.
