Another 16% complain that the food didn’t come fast enough or in enough time to meet their expectations. Incorrect orders account for 12% of all delivery restaurant complaints and another 12% of complaints are about restaurants ignoring instructions.

Of course, complaining is a two-way street! Not only do customers complain, but delivery drivers often have a few complaints as well. What’s the top complaint among delivery drivers?
