THE government’s ruling for eateries to only operate until 8pm for takeaways and deliveries during the movement control order has given rise to problems not only for restaurateurs but also the public.

Not being able to fulfil the influx of food orders in a short period of time and technical glitches with delivery partners are just some of the issues faced by restaurant staff.
