A second courier network. Same one-click dispatch. Same operator visibility. Same fleet-scale pricing. Because on a wet Friday in February, one courier option isn't enough.
"Two networks is the difference between 'your order is delayed' and 'your order is on its way'."
Last month we brought Uber Direct into Deliver Plus. Today we're adding Stuart. From this week, every Andromeda restaurant has two courier networks wired into the same auto-dispatch engine — and the platform decides which one to fire on each order.
Why two? Because no single courier network wins every postcode, every hour, every day. Uber is strong in central London evenings. Stuart is strong in lunchtime city-centre runs and has deeper coverage in some regional towns. Rather than making operators pick, we let the POS pick.
Andromeda checks live availability and quote price across networks on every order. Whichever is faster and cheaper wins.
If the preferred network has no riders, the fallback fires in seconds. Customers don't see the switch — just an on-time delivery.
Sales, costs and performance by network show up in the same dashboard. No reconciling two invoices from two portals.
The commercial win is real. Because Andromeda pools volume across every customer, Stuart — like Uber — prices us as a fleet rather than as a collection of independent restaurants. You get rates you couldn't negotiate alone, without joining a franchise or marketplace.
The operational win is bigger. Restaurants we've piloted with saw their dropped-order rate on peak nights fall by roughly a third once both networks were live together. The reason is simple: with two networks, the probability of "no riders available" on any given order drops sharply. Your customers don't wait. Your kitchen doesn't stockpile packed bags. Your reviews don't mention the delay.
If you're already on Deliver Plus, Stuart is switched on automatically — nothing to do. If you're not on Deliver Plus yet, ask us in the next demo. It's one of the highest-impact switches we help operators flick.
Book a 20-minute session and we'll show a real order hit Stuart over Uber — and vice versa — on real postcodes.
