Where about are you working? It’s good to hear what’s going on elsewhere.
It’s already a bit warm for the official jacket so yeah ... a ‘vintage’ Lance era Nike sofshell is gonna be my work jacket for a bit I think (it’s as yellow as his ego was biiiiiig).
I’m using an @Archie's_Grobags in anger for the first time in years (with a diy insulated liner made from foodsafe foil bubblewrap and .... er ... staples). It’s been pretty great. Very fast to use.

Generally find the exact opposite.
Any 'fast food' place leaves it till the last minute, or the front staff (in charge of the tablet) have so little fucks given that pressure is always placed on the kitchen.
Proper restaurants, especially those that have previously operated their own delivery (or through just eats etc) are way way way better, rarely put a foot wrong, and can deal with the demand when placed on them.
Theres a whole bunch in between, rule of thumb for me, if the tablet is left with front of house instead of those who make the food, expect shit.

When I used to work for Deliveroo I had a meeting with our area manager (one up from the person who just managed Leeds). I was told that riders weren't required to wear any particular uniform or use any particular equipment. It's possible that it's because it was a meeting between a few disgruntled riders who were trying to create a union, the IWW and Deliveroo management and Deliveroo were trying to push the angle that none of their riders are actually employees, being forced to weara uniform would undermine that a bit. I'm not sure if that's still the case but I wouldn't worry about it either way, just wear whatever you think is the best thing for the job.

Yeah, anywhere that offers a "dining experience" rather than shovelling food at you as fast as they can, is always going to be a slow pick up. I had a word with one of the staff at Bills in Sheffield and they said that they had asked for a 15 minute prep time but only ever get 10. That automatically means a 5 minute wait on any pick up when it isn't really busy.
The bags are OK but it seems that there is a preference for Stuart bags (except they don't hold a pizza flat). If at all possible, don't bother with the jacket. I turned up to the kit collection wearing a jacket with reflective trim on it and it was given a pass (Ron Hill running windstop). About half the riders just wear their own clothing. I've got a light coloured waterproof that I use when it's raining. It seems unlikely that anyone will ever check on the kit that riders are wearing after they've started.
Next to nothing in tips up here but I'm not that bothered.
