They also do a fair bit of takeaway food delivery, which is a growing market.

But they only do it until 8pm and not on the weekend? Can that even be called a competing service to the likes of uber eats/deliveroo and if it does is that cheapest end of the delivery market where money can be made as an investor with a "premium service"?
I don't think there is any money in food delivery to the end customer long term for them, people just don't order enough food in one go to utilize the bikes so a courier with a bag will win every time. They can pad out the hours with it to keep bikes on the road but that's about it. It's why the competition has already explored and stopped using these.
You see a fair few Pret bikes around during the day delivering sandwich platters that would probably be too big to fit in a normal bike bag. Plus they're cold so you can do multiple drops.
