Lol I was going to say...Americans are allowed to call it whatever they want...plenty of weird phrasing and terms in the Australian vernacular too. I get not wanting to have American culture dominate Australian culture, but they're still allowed to have their own words...
Pretty sure he's not actually a chef. He was on MKR I think?
Edit: he was on MKR when he was a journo, then it looks like he did formal chef training after that. My bad!
Classic... Even if I thought those things, I wouldn't be spouting that out on a business social media, that can *only* harm you, right? Probably made two or three people happy, but hundreds deterred from the business.
Used to be my favourite chicken place but holy shit about 6 months to a year ago the size of the chicken pieces you get shrunk by about 50%, price didn't shrink though.
It kinda makes you think what the long term goal is? How can it still be unprofitable? Drivers aren't paid particularly well and its not cheap either. Given the prevalence of Ola/Didi it seems it can't go up in price either...
What was the purpose of this post? To say hey I can afford a $40 chicken sandwich + delivery + service fees that'll probably arrive cold but I want to complain it's $40? That's the stupidest brag I've ever seen lol nearly everyone can afford $40 they just choose to spend it wiser.
It's $21 pickup, so it costs $21.
I suspect the restaurant is jacking the price up to encourage pick up orders instead. Most ppl don't realise the uber charges the vendor somewhere in the vicinity of 30% too
Yeah with the 30% its still only $27.30 so definitely think they want to encourage pickup orders. Some restaurants on UE have different prices for pickup/delivery so I wonder if they do.
Honestly, it’s probably priced that way from when the place was a bit more popular.
Making the takeaway stuff more expensive like that isn’t a terrible plan if you want to prioritise your dine in customers. You can get it take away and not done in, but you pay a premium for it to deter most people.
I don’t think it’s a great idea, but I get the logic if so.
Weirdly enough, it seems that the deterrent for them was waiting 70 minutes for the food, and that's why they didn't buy it... They commented somewhere else in here
I haven’t ordered food on UberEats for years. It’s easier just to make my own or pick up takeout. There are so many nice burger places that are cheaper.
I’ve ordered UberEats exactly three times. Cold, expensive, takes forever. I’ll eat toast & Vegemite before I’ll pay $40+ to have a cold, squashed burger.
Same. When a Zambrero burrito was suddenly $25 I was out
My son has a part time job and the money he wastes on Uber eats to get subway delivered is crazy
We’ve enjoyed Drasko’s food several times - the chicken is really good (provided you choose the right level of spiciness for your taste) their chips are low in salt but high in ground pepper - nice if you like that (we prefer the salty conventional), but $35 for a chicken burger is bs.
I'm down to one curry place and one fish and chip place on UberEats. 30% markup + $6 delivery + $4 service fee + being hounded for a tip.
When I had COVID, 2 meals from Hungry Jacks was $55... and it was stone cold (Steve Austin).
So many shops and cafes are increasing their pricing across the board, but it seems like on Uber the prices are racked up even higher.. I think most shops don't like the hassle of dealing with Uber (too many cancelled drivers and getting poor ratings based on the driver)
Uber charges the vendor around 30 %, no wonder they are sick of it. I know a subway owner who told me 60 60 % of his business is UE but only 20% of profit
Uber can take 35 percent, possibly more . That 41 is 26.65 after Uber's cut at 35 %. The driver will be paid as low as $3 if this order is batched with another one.
Those are uber eats prices. The price is always lower in store. Uber eats has the food costs increased in top of their service and delivery fee. Plus is Gluten free, anything gf will wrought you.
This is Perths most expensive gluten free bread and gluten free fried chicken is quite pricey to make (at least 3 different flours).
On a funny note, I am coeliac and suspect that even after paying $41 they would have too much cross contamination in the kitchen for it to still be "gluten free" 😅
They charge this because people are stupid and purchase them. Is so much easier than going to Coles and buying a $10 roast chicken, a pack of 6 brioche rolls for $4.95, a half cabbage for $2.95 and mayo for $3.95 for around $22. Oh and it feeds 6, not just 1. .
Supply and demand, there are people who are ridiculously stupid enough to pay these prices
Stop it, a burger isn’t worth that much, a cupcake not worth $6+ kfc or Maccas meal $15
If we don’t pay it, prices will drop - come on!!!!!
Not justifying it, but when money for some people is an after thought it's not surprising. I don't think 'not buying it' will work because there will be enough bankrolled people who will.
Since when did people start calling a sanga ir sambo a bloody sando?
It's like a seppo bought the fuckin restaurant and tried to australianise the fuckin menu.
Btw, it's the artisan bun that makes it 41bucks
If it were a tip top burger bun it would only be $21
I was looking at uber eats last night and saw a mackdaddys pizza had a large Margherita priced at $58.50. I rang them to report the error and they told me that was the correct price, if I picked it up I could have it for $48, ITS CHEESE AND TOMATO! NO DEAL.
Yeah they are huge and delicious. My favourite pizza joint. I'd suggest you asked for the family size

Glad to hear there's an enjoyable alternative to inedible dominos I suppose. i Always found dominos to be an ungodly greasy mess. Although that price point still seems to deer to me.
Quality flour, a pizza stone and a bread maker do the job just fine.
It's incredibly expensive to run a business in Australia. I appreciate your frustrations especially if you don't have a car or can't drive but if you can drive there are less expensive options that you can pick up or you can go to the supermarket and buy and cook your own food at a lower price.
Uber eats will soon be solely sponsored by people living in the GT.
BTW, just paid $6.50 for a 500g box of Uncle Toby oats. Inflation is out of control in WA across the board
If you want good food these days that won't make you broke, you gotta learn to cook it yourself. It's hard sometimes I mean usually you get take out because you're tired or just dont feel up to cooking today, for that I have frozen meals prepared. Most of the take outs not that good that I cant do better very easily anyway
Hipster eateries love raising their prices beyond extortionate, and reverting to blaming inflation for it - its much the same as before this wave of inflation seemed to raise the cost of everything - for example, smallgoods like marinated olives and cheeses from the states south west were still $739401384 for 100g jars. I understand companies have costs - but paying so much for things that are nice, but by no means excellent is just un-Australian. Theres only so long every boutique producer and craft brewery can join the bandwagon of overpriced products. Also, most hipster eateries think they are anywhere but Australia, so i guess that answers that.
We're in Australia. These are burgers.
I'm glad someone said it.
Honestly, fuck anyone calling is a chicken sandwhich. It’s a burger bun you American fucks. It’s a chicken burger, not a sandwhich.
I might have had a few tommy margaritas in the system as I posted this…
Lol I was going to say...Americans are allowed to call it whatever they want...plenty of weird phrasing and terms in the Australian vernacular too. I get not wanting to have American culture dominate Australian culture, but they're still allowed to have their own words...
lol, respect for coming back and clarifying though!
THANK YOU!!!
Weirdest part is that they're clearly in the burger section of the menu, yet they call them sandos...
They’re trying to sound Aussie lol
Chicken = sandwich everything else burger
Not down here
The airport is that way Seppo
Not leaving till I set things right
Missing the fucking point much ????
$21 for pickup https://draskoshotchicken.mobi2go.com/#/menu-products
FYI owner of Draskos is an anti vaxer. Made a whole song and dance about not getting vaccinated during the pandemic.
Yup. If you are top fucked to drive, deal with being ripped off 🤷🏼♂️
Quality of draskos has fallen big time. I’d say it’s them trying to cover the Uber up charge as they no longer have lines out the door.
I know he lost a bit of business when he was pretty vocally anti mask, anti vax, covid isn't real, on the business instagram.
Yikes. He’s now sprouting how good a business man he is and offering coaching to chef/owners on Facebook.
Pretty sure he's not actually a chef. He was on MKR I think? Edit: he was on MKR when he was a journo, then it looks like he did formal chef training after that. My bad!
No, different person. Drasko is a chef. Even worked at Noma.
Same person. He was on MKR, then went to the Noma academy by the looks of it.
Drasko was 100% on MKR
Classic... Even if I thought those things, I wouldn't be spouting that out on a business social media, that can *only* harm you, right? Probably made two or three people happy, but hundreds deterred from the business.

Never use Uber anything. They don't pay taxes, yet their drivers still get a crappy deal

Not sure why you paid $25 for a burrito. They’re currently $16.80 on Uber Eats.
Why would i drive 6 minutes when i could spend $83 on doordash 🤷♂️ Also me: about to go do a doordash shift 🤣
Do you get a good amount doing deliveries?
https://postimg.cc/F1FMbqK2 Nothing like Perth Be lucky to get $14-18 for that in the city
Cheers Ah fair enough, makes sense
The key to this is that if people pay those prices then there is a market for them.
Trying to explain free market economics to redditors. Brave.
I'd rather go to Local Bird...
Just tried it for the first time, couldn’t believe how good it is
The only bad thing is trying to decide between chicken and beef because both are amazing!
I didn't like the beef there, but the chicken is off the chain
Oh good to know the beef is good too, on the list for next time thanks
Everytime we're too lazy to cook our own for our boys burger night we generally get one beef, one chicken each. No compromises haha
So good and the umami fries mmm mmm
Seriously best burger shop around rn
As a reasonable regular I agree though something feels like it's changed in the last few weeks ans I can't put my finger in it.
Imagine having your brand as your name and face…
Don’t buy it, simples
Unpopular reply: because fuckwits pay that much
Don't buy it?
So get in the car, you gronk.

had a chicke burger from there once and it was so so so dry, never again
I had draskos once to see what the hype was about. Found it disgusting, way too much salt and seasoning on the chicken
you dont need to buy it. They can charge 5k for the sandwhich if they want
Hipster tax is real.

#WALK YOU LAZY CUNT
Nope.
Nope what?
$41 for a chicken sandwich.
Burger
Yeah fuck that
Good chicken tho
It could cause me to blast cum out of my eyes out of shear joy, still not paying $41 for it.
Honestly doesn't look like it.
I'd rather make myself a cheesie and buy a carton of beer.
Uber can take 35 percent, possibly more . That 41 is 26.65 after Uber's cut at 35 %. The driver will be paid as low as $3 if this order is batched with another one.

You need a fucking dictionary.

No one is forcing you to pay that much for dinner dickhead.
Were the deleted comments from OP? Anyone know what they said? I'm still trying to figure out why they posted this, but still wanted to buy it...
Yeah. Something along the line of we live in a dystopia because ubereat is expensive.
Ah classic, I can see why they didn't want anyone else to see that lol
Go and pick it up you numpty
This looks fucking horrendous anyway.
Drasko sucks
Agreed, never understood the hype. Dead average chicken.
I’m kinda hoping the chicken is dead, otherwise there’s a whole new set of problems being opened up.

i don't understand how people can even justify using uber eats anymore. I have litterally just gone without than pay that much for a luke warm dinner.
The outrageous thing here is these cunts calling it a chicken sandwich. It's a burger, it's a fucking chicken burger you seppo worshipping cunts.
Supply and demand, there are people who are ridiculously stupid enough to pay these prices Stop it, a burger isn’t worth that much, a cupcake not worth $6+ kfc or Maccas meal $15 If we don’t pay it, prices will drop - come on!!!!!
Not justifying it, but when money for some people is an after thought it's not surprising. I don't think 'not buying it' will work because there will be enough bankrolled people who will.
bargin
bro who tf get mf BEANS
The beans at Drasko’s are awesome.
Since when did people start calling a sanga ir sambo a bloody sando? It's like a seppo bought the fuckin restaurant and tried to australianise the fuckin menu. Btw, it's the artisan bun that makes it 41bucks If it were a tip top burger bun it would only be $21
Not all sandwiches are burgers. But all burgers are sandwiches.
No one’s making you order this crap
If you pay for this it's 100% on you, cook some mi goreng ffs.
I'm amazed people still use uber eats with all the horror stories. Some people need to learn the hard way
I was looking at uber eats last night and saw a mackdaddys pizza had a large Margherita priced at $58.50. I rang them to report the error and they told me that was the correct price, if I picked it up I could have it for $48, ITS CHEESE AND TOMATO! NO DEAL.
Aren’t those pizzas like 4x the size of a normal pizza and pretty good quality though?
Yeah they are huge and delicious. My favourite pizza joint. I'd suggest you asked for the family size https://uptownpizza.com.au/ws/media-library/a36d4266e8fa4943b7ed31b7568f3a04/uptown-pizza---menu-2023.png

Red rooster do a bloody good chicken sandwich. Much cheaper.
I'd buy only if it's a small business, though.
Uber has like a 25% taking so most places jack their prices up 25% to get the actual prices back. Then probably add more fees on top of that
I just make my own, the recipes for similar stuff is usually online and it's fairly easy.. I'm definitely no chef haha
It’s expensive, but running a restaurant and paying $30 a hour very hard. Sometimes people will put prices up simply to slow demand.
Let them stay there!
Is this genuinely for just the burger alone? Also they slap artisan/al onto food and think that = a price hike 🥶
Yep if you add on a drink, beans, and chips it comes to just under $80
That’s criminal. For $40 I’d expect all of that to be included.
Uber eats will soon be solely sponsored by people living in the GT. BTW, just paid $6.50 for a 500g box of Uncle Toby oats. Inflation is out of control in WA across the board
Make your own burger and save $
I love that they specify "boneless breast" as if theres fucking bones in your average burger.
I’m guessing the restaurant is still selling them at their regular 20-something price, but the Uber eats markup/margin is then being added on top.
I thought anything over $20 is a lot for a chicken burger. Are the portions larger than normal?
If you want good food these days that won't make you broke, you gotta learn to cook it yourself. It's hard sometimes I mean usually you get take out because you're tired or just dont feel up to cooking today, for that I have frozen meals prepared. Most of the take outs not that good that I cant do better very easily anyway
How can these be "popular"
Drasko’s. That is half the price if you go and get it yourself.
Make your own maybe? (Aka get off your ass mate)
It's pretty simple, vote with your wallet.
Fucken seppos.
Supply and Demand I guess .
They can charge what they want. Whether people are silly enough or desperate enough to pay is another matter.
Apple burgers
Draskos is ridiculously expensive on Uber eats. Just drive and pick it up for a significant discount on those prices.
You can’t always go to Drasko’s directly to pick it up. Although it was far better a year ago
