Just Eat teamed up with Greggs to introduce a new service called the Sausage Roll-er Skating Squad, which helps people in London receive their food in a fun way. Through the service, Londoners can order everything from sausage rolls and vegan-friendly sausage rolls to sweet treats and have them delivered by "rollers" through the delivery platform.
Professional roller skaters will be part of the trial service, which is launching at a time when there have been major road closures in the capital city. With the trial of this new service, Just Eat and Greggs have the potential to see if the roller skaters can navigate the routes to customer houses more efficiently and faster—and in a more fun way—than traditional couriers.
