Did You Know #UberEats Has These Cool Features? @Uber_RSA #SmartphoneApp

Hi Friends, 

Uber Eats has broken the common stereotype of what food delivery service is. With new useful features being introduced such as in-app messaging, which makes it convenient for eaters to communicate with their delivery partner seamlessly, they are able to deliver on their promises of selection, speed, and service.

In-app messaging is not the only feature to make ordering easier. Here are some of the other unique technology features built into the Uber Eats app:

Personalised recommendations - What do other eaters love? Uber Eats uses machine learning to help surface recommendations such as popular options in the surrounding area based on past orders, 30-minute delivery options, and details like time of day and delivery location.

Filter for the right food - Are you a vegetarian? The app allows eaters to select meal options that suit their lifestyle whether you are a vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free there is something for everyone. The app also allows eaters to look up restaurants according to specific criteria like speed, price, dish information and average prep time.

Thumbs up or thumbs down? - The same way Uber uses the five-star rating for driver-partners, the Uber Eats app provides rates of restaurants so eaters can see how others in their city rate their service. Eaters can also rate a specific meal with a thumbs up or thumbs down, which helps the restaurant to improve its experience.

Order customization - Not a fan of onions or tomatoes? No worries! The app allows eaters to let the restaurant know what ingredients not to include.

Customise the drop-off location - Stuck in a meeting? Eaters can provide specific instructions to delivery partners, for example, telling them to leave the food order at the reception.

Schedule orders - Do you have guests coming over and haven’t prepared food? No sweat, the app allows eaters to plan ahead and make orders in advance. eaters are able to schedule an order anytime up to an hour before the desired delivery window–and as far as a week out.

Order tracking - Wondering what’s happening with your food? Eaters can select “track your order” in-app and watch in real-time as their food is prepared, picked up, and delivered to them.

Simultaneously use Uber and Uber Eats - eaters can pop open the Uber Eats app while in their Uber to the office or home to order food before they arrive. This way eaters can find their food waiting for them when they arrive.

In-app support - Yes, mistakes can happen such as your food arriving cold. In this instance, eaters can use this feature to get a prompt response to their queries in the shortest time possible. The in-app support “Help” service can be accessed within the Uber Eats app by tapping on your profile icon on the bottom right of the screen, then tapping the help icon which will provide you options of issues you can select in order for it to resolve. This helps provide feedback to the restaurants to ensure they improve their service.

Uber Eats has transformed the way traditional restaurant work and are fostering experiments that offer an insight into the future of food delivery.

Come Cook with Deena Naidoo @CarnivalCitySA #FrysFamily @Deenamcsa @FrysFamily

Hi Guys, 

On the 11th of March, the Fry’s Family Food Co. put on the “Come cook with Deena Naidoo” event, combining great food, and information about healthy eating, for their loyal customers.

“Come Cook with Deena Naidoo, powered by the Fry Family Food Co.” took place at the Sibya Casino, making use of their outdoor boma. The weather more than played its part, and participants were treated to a beautiful morning of cooking demos, food, health talks and prizes - all courtesy of Fry’s.

Fry's Prawns & Tomato Salsa

A big focus at the event was health information; “Soy is often demonized with many believing that the phyto-oestrogens contained in soy can cause feminizing effects in men and lead to breast cancer in women; both being completely false. In fact soy protects against the effects of high oestrogen levels and also protects against breast and prostate cancer. There are huge health differences between GM and non-GM soy and it is clear that non-GM soy is in fact great for your health and actually protective against the very diseases it has been demonized for.” Says Dr Paul Palmer, a plant based nutritionist and chiropractor who gave the audience members an informative talk on The Myths about Soy.

Cape Malay Coconut Curry

Celebrity Chef Deena Naidoo – South Africa’s first Masterchef - captivated guests with his take on meal time classics using Fry’s products. Guests were then invited to come up and cook with him while learning culinary tips and tricks along the way. Deena produced three dishes: Prawns and Tomato Salsa, Cape Malay Coconut Curry Served With Charred Apricots and Tuna Style Snacks - which can all be found on the Fry’s website. www.fryfamillyfood.co.za

Over R7,000 in cash prizes were given out, and guests were treated to a buffet lunch ranging from mini bunny chows, Fry’s Chicken-Style Strip stir fry, gourmet burgers and more. “It was a lovely, enjoyable morning for us. The food was delicious and Deena was entertaining and informative. It was a really interactive event, I loved it! We were so well taken care of.” one of the guests, Mireesha Narsai from Kloof said.

Tuna-Style snacks

With Ramayana period around the corner it just made sense for Fry’s to host an event like this; showcasing that when fasting, or reducing your meat intake, you can still make cooking fun and delicious. Fry’s also wanted to give back to our loyal customers and show our gratitude for the years of support.

The Fry Family Food Co., The Post, and Sun International are taking this event to Carnival City on the 25th of March where participants will be hosted by the hilarious Karou Charou.

Booking is essential and those interested can do so by emailing marketing@frygroup.co.za. T&C apply. Go check out this amazing workshop as I attended one two years back and it was the most wonderful and tasty experience.

Cheers!!!

@FrysFamily Vegetarian Event @ Capsicum Culinary Studio, Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

Recently, I was invited to experience something I always wanted to learn. It was an introduction session to cooking Fry's Family products by Chef Candice-Lee Clark. The evening included an interactive cooking session instructed by the Chef along with enjoying the scrumptious vegetarian meals, we prepared using Fry's range of products.

Here is the amazing Veg Chicken-Style Burgers served to all the invitees. They tasted amazingly good with a slice of pineapple over a bun and Fry's Meat Free Burgers.

The venue for this event was Capsicum Culinary Studio in Johannesburg which is also in 5 other locations namely Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and others.Follow them on twitter, facebook & instagram.

The Chef Candice-Lee taking all of us through some of the best cooking sessions and lessons for life. We were all given the same amount of ingredients and instructions to cook and present our dishes.

Here is my first dish made using Fry's Cruspy Prawns cooked in Coconut curry, Chick peas along with some rice and wrap.

The second round was to make salad using all the veggies available along with Fry's Chicken Style Strips. I used avocado to make the DOME and won a party for me and my 9 friends fully sponsored by the Fry's at my own house. They also gifted us with amazing range of Fry's products to make them at home along with a Fry's recipe book.

I really loved the amazing session and learnt a lot to cook Fry's food in the fastest possible time. Follow them on instagram, twitter, facebook, Pinterest, and website.

Cheers!!!

@Zomato - The delicious evening @WalnutGroveSA @SandtonCity Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

The festival of lights is the time when we find ourselves deep into the desserts and sweets. It's the time to celebrate the best things of life in terms of food, clothes and jewellery. For me it was the time to celebrate with Zomato in their Foodie Meetup at Walnut Grove in Sandton City, food court. The place is simply amazing and has an increasing fan following because of their commitment to quality and they simply make your time at the restaurant enjoyable.

Walnut Grove is being run by Elle Ruschioni and her brother Fotis Drakopoulos. It was started by their parents in 1975 and ever since the food has become more tastier and healthier year after year. Here is Elle with Zomato's Heino Gehle.

The setup and decor of the restaurant is awesomely beautiful and this is the chandelier representing their strong belief in great food brings great moments in your life which keeps shining throughout your life in your memories and that's what you cherish.

I never thought or saw the place in all my previous visits to Sandton City but now after spending some timer there and eating some of their vegetarian delicacies I want to go there again and again.

Walnut Grove specializes in cakes, cookies, coffee, tea, milk shakes, smoothies along with various other food items. 

Every item they make or bake is special. Once you have tasted their stuff, you will forget all the other bakeries in town. The first photograph shows variety of Micro Wraps with Hummus, grilled halloumi, polenta crumed feta, olives and avocado; Quinoa with crumbed feta, roast butternut, mixed greens and beetroot relish.

This is my vegetarian board containing Fried Vegetables Lemon Zest Basket, Rustic African Nachos, Paneer Cashew Saffron Curry, Herbed Mushroom Red Velvet Burger. Every food items that was served was extremely delicious and tasty to eat. By the time desserts came I was so full that I could not take more than a bite of each of them. 

Here is the Trip of Gourmet Milkshake Shots, Summer Macaroon selection and Red Velvet Cupcake. Desserts are so nice and tempting that I should have left main course and start from there only.A special Mascarpone Spoon with Coffee Caviar really was an experience of lifetime.

The departing gift from the Walnut Grove was this out of the world Rainbow Cake to keep your family and friends hooked to this restaurant. It not only looked awesome but tasted divine. Even if you don't have time to visit and sit at the place, go and buy a slice of this cake. This is the best I have ever eaten in my life till now. In all of my self obsession with vegetarian food, I completely forgot to take even a single snap of Non-vegetarian food that was served.

Check out this awesome place in Sandton City in your next trip and enjoy your best moments of life in Walnut Grove. Follow them on twitter and facebook. Check out Zomato at www.zomato.com/johannesburg
