10. Safety and Food Handling: Small checks protect your meal

Safety features like contact-free delivery, driver ID verification, and live tracking help reduce stress around deliveries. Food handling risks are generally low for standard items, but sealed packaging and temperature-appropriate containers matter, especially for perishable dishes. When placing orders, opt for restaurants with clear hygiene ratings and good packing reviews. If you receive a meal that appears tampered with or not properly sealed, refuse it and document the issue for support. These small precautions keep family meals safe and make the delivery experience more predictable, particularly when ordering for vulnerable people or during hot weather when temperature control is important.
