A new food app offering takeaway menus from restaurants across the Isle of Wight has been officially launched.
Island businessmen Kevin Barton and Mark Stafford, who created and launched the Uber-style taxi app, Go Taxi, last December, have now introduced Go Eats to the brand’s portfolio.
Whether it’s something new from a top local restaurant or a regular takeaway favourite, Go Eats offers a choice of menus to suit all tastes and types of cuisines.
A second app, Go Delivery, has also been launched to provide an Islandwide doorstep service with over 50 drivers already delivering more than 5,000 items in the first month.
Kevin, Co-Founder of Go Eats, says:
“We want to offer Islanders a simple, convenient and reliable food ordering and delivery service, and we believe Go Eats gives us that. There is a gap on the Island for an app like this and we want to help fill those hungry bellies.
“We have some fantastic menus available and more outlets are joining us all the time.
“We already have over 3,000 people using the app and the early weeks have been really busy. We have seen huge customer demand and received very positive feedback so far.

Any restaurant or food business keen to be involved with Go Eats can set up for free, within 24 hours.
Fumo33, Stotesbury, Subway, Tamarind and Ryde Thai are among those already using the app to offer their menus and they have all seen a huge increase in demand for delivery.
Hugh Wastnage, franchise owner at Subway Ryde and Newport, has said:
“As a franchise owner of multi Subway stores already successfully partnering with Deliveroo and Just Eat on the mainland, we were really excited to have the opportunity to partner up with Go Eats on the Isle of Wight.
“The results have been way above expectations and performed as well as any of the major app competitors.”

Just downloaded the app to be told they don’t deliver in the west wight ??
Not all island addresses/postcodes are recognised, which is understandable for a new app where glitches are to be expected. Wonder if there’ll be the same outcry there was when there were issues with the NHS app?
Thats not new…Son been using that a while cause got me to install couple of weeks ago!
No Pizza Hut? But with 30-45 mins delivery for Burger King it kfc to Shanklin. Surely the food will be cold by the time I get it?
But if you get Pizza Hut on there I’d be happy with that.
