About Us
Why We Started
PDQ2 was born from a rigged system that punishes both businesses and customers.
It all started in Brighton, 2023, when our founder, walked into a restaurant struggling under crippling third-party platform fees.
Uber Eats and Deliveroo, were siphoning 35% commissions, forcing the owner to raise menu prices by 35% just to survive. Customers were paying an extra 10-12% in hidden service fees, meaning a £20 meal cost over £30—and loyal customers stopped ordering. Worse still, these platforms owned the customer data, driving business to competitors.
He asked: “Why are you funding these middlemen?”
The owner sighed: “We can’t afford our own delivery drivers.”
That’s when PDQ2 was born—to eliminate the middlemen and take back control.
