Food delivery is a great way to save time and instead of preparing to do business that brings pleasure. But not all establishments are ready to provide gourmet cuisine, and sometimes the food is so mediocre that the buyer regrets that he did not cook it himself. In today's article, we will talk about a company such as Two Shores. Reviews written on the Internet about her are quite controversial.
Delivery terms
Compared to other companies, Two Shores offers loyal buying conditions. So that delivery was free, you need to place an order for only 450 rubles, taking into account all kinds of discounts. Buyers constantly note this fact in their reviews. Two Shores also promises to bring dishes in 30 minutes.
In addition to all of the above, the restaurant constantly holds various promotions with a discount of up to 60 percent. For example, such conditions work for a long time: when buying from 1000 rubles at night, the order doubles. Thus, the buyer receives increased portions of the ordered dishes with a 50% discount.
Delivery Impressions
You can find the restaurant "Two Shores" in almost any city. That is why reviews read on the Internet may not completely correspond to reality in a certain place. If somewhere it is considered normal to bring almost cold food, then this does not mean that, for example, “Two Shores” of St. Petersburg do the same. It should be understood that the recipe does not change.
Most often, people use delivery on holidays. At this time, the hostess does not want to stand at the stove for half a day. And also companies use such services when the meeting took place outside the plan. Therefore, the taste of the delivered dishes should be at its best, so that everyone present would appreciate it. Namely, judging by the reviews, “Two Shores” is such an organization that will always help out.
Company advantages
As in any restaurant, there are buyers who are not satisfied with the quality of the products. But it is worth remembering that Two Shores is positioning itself as a budget company, so you can’t count on any gastronomic delights.
From the positive qualities can be identified accessibility institutions. You can pay your order in cash, card, courier or on the site. And also a plus is that there is no need not only to cook, but even to go to a restaurant. All will be delivered right to the door.
The operators who serve the company are always polite and helpful. At least, that’s how buyers write about the restaurant “Two Shores” in reviews. The questions are asked essentially: how many people will be, how best to drive up and so on. And, of course, on duty they can offer several additional dishes at a discount, if there is one at the moment.
Promotions and discounts
Many reviews of “Two Shores” in St. Petersburg note that, despite the rather low prices of the dishes themselves, there are always favorable offers. On a birthday, the company gives a birthday person a 10 percent discount on everything except promotional items. Of course, you can find the best option. For example, if you visit any other restaurant on your birthday, then almost every person will be served a piece of cake or cheesecake for free. But it’s worthwhile to understand that the price level will also be different.
Next, we consider what promotions and discounts are offered by “Two Shores” in St. Petersburg.
"Save"
The restaurant has its own loyalty program. For each paid order, the buyer receives a certain amount of points that he can spend on the next purchase.
There are four levels of loyalty. The minimum is silver. Participants of this level can pay 50% of any purchase on the site with earned points. Moreover, from each order 5-10% is charged to the account. Under the conditions of this level, it is prescribed that the buyer must be registered on the website or in the mobile application.
The difference in gold status from silver is small. All the same, the buyer can pay 50%, only now for each order 7-15 percent is charged. Not every person can receive such loyalty. Under the terms of the level, you need to make 6 orders in 3 months in the amount of at least 7,000 rubles.
Platinum enhances customer status. A member of this level can pay with points up to 70% of any purchase. This is indeed a very good offer. Moreover, 10-20 percent goes to the account from each check. Of course, the conditions for such loyalty are already more serious. It is required to make a purchase of 14,000 rubles or more within 3 months. Moreover, this amount should be distributed over 12 checks.
The extreme and most delicious loyalty is exclusive. Here you can pay with points up to 90% of the order. This is really a great deal. In addition, each check allows you to earn points in the amount of 15-25 percent of the purchase. Conditions are most likely not suitable for a family or one person. But if we are talking, for example, about office dinners, then you can save very well here. For 3 months you need to make at least 18 orders totaling 20,000 rubles.
Discount on a dish to order
Very often, “Two Shores” carry out similar actions when it is necessary to order for a certain amount and get the goods cheaper. For example, more recently, the company offered to buy dishes for 1000 rubles and get pizza for only 50.
Now on the website you can find such an offer: with a check of 990 rubles, any buyer can buy salmon cream soup for only 99. On the menu, such a dish costs 319, that is, the benefit is more than 30 percent. Such an action is perfect for those who are used to ordering meals directly to the office.
"Night Dozhor"
Perhaps at the moment this is the most attractive action of all presented. By placing an order in the amount of 1000 rubles at night, the portion of the dish is doubled. It should be noted that the opening hours of this promotion are from 00:00 to 6:00.
This is a great option for a party or family gathering. But, it is worth noting that sets from rolls, as well as sets of products will not participate in the promotion.
Pizza discount
Reviews about “Two Shores” in St. Petersburg are full of comments about this dish. Almost everyone likes pizza at the restaurant. Perhaps that is why she is constantly involved in various promotions. It is worth noting that the taste does not depend on the price in this restaurant.
The promotion is that the more people buy pizza, the greater the discount will be given. So, for 3 products, the cost will be reduced by 30 percent. Buying 4 pizzas, the discount for the customer will be 40%, and when purchasing 5 items - 50%.
By the way, Margarita costs 360 rubles, that is, for 3 you need to give about 750 rubles, and for an additional two - only 75 rubles. This is really a very good Two Shore pizza offer. Reviews confirm this.
Seasonal discounts
In addition to the shares that are inherent in the usual delivery of “2 shores”, additional offers are published for each holiday. So, the restaurant did not pass by and Black Friday, offering a discount of 50 percent for every second item in the check.
World Championship, New Year, March 8 and other holidays in Russia are always accompanied by additional discounts and gifts from the institution.
Delivery
Judging by the reviews, the pizza in Two Shores is really tasty, but still some say that sometimes it is delivered almost cooled. What is the reason? It is logical to assume that the reason lies in the delivery time and in the packaging. The company itself states that in the next areas, dishes are brought within 30 minutes. But if a person lives really far from the workshop, then his pizza can cool off along the way.
It’s better to order food for the holiday in advance, as they can deliver goods for an hour or even a half to particularly remote areas. Although there are times when food is brought in only 20-30 minutes. In any case, when you call back to confirm the order, the employee informs you how long the delivery will be made.
When ordering pizza or hot dishes, it’s worth remembering that the reviews about the company “Two Banks” in St. Petersburg are contradictory. There are those buyers who are dissatisfied not only with the temperature of the food.
Sushi "Two Shores": reviews
Previously, the main source of income for the company was the sale of pizza. Now the menu has become more diverse. Sushi, rolls and sets of them are as popular as, for example, Margarita pizza. Almost all promotions and discount offers apply to them.
Prices for the entire range are average. For example, "Philadelphia" with a cucumber will cost 370 rubles. At the same time, in some reviews, buyers note that salmon is very thin and looks stale. It is also surprising that the classic "Philadelphia" in the usual sense is not on the menu, so you have to ask by phone for its preparation.
Most of the assortment consists of baked rolls, there are even signature flavors. The most expensive sushi on the menu is Philadelphia with eel and cucumber instead of salmon, and the filling is made from cheese and masago. The cost of unusual rolls is 470 rubles. And the cheapest are standard nori sushi with cucumber inside for 100 rubles.
Whether it is expensive or cheap, everyone decides individually. But it is worth considering that prices are given without discounts, which are plentiful in the restaurant. Also, almost every city has its own sites that offer to purchase coupons of various institutions. “Two Shores” is just the company that constantly appears on such platforms. And this is another way to save money on a purchase.
The quality and taste of food
Reviews on the Internet can be divided not only into positive and negative, but also by their age. So, in 2014, most buyers noted that the food brought in was very tasty, and the delivery was almost instant. With each subsequent year, negative reviews increase. This can happen for a variety of reasons.
In the modern world, the slogan “Client by any means” has become popular among entrepreneurs. Therefore, you can often find bought negative feedback from competitors. In addition, every year the number of establishments where you can eat increases and people constantly compare them. Obviously, there are places where the food tastes better.
Well, the third factor is that the production of dishes could get on the conveyor belt, so stale fish can sometimes get caught or one of the ingredients will be missed in pizza.
Opinions about the "2 coast"
Many reviews describe a specific dish, and it is they who are of interest to buyers. I always want to order delicious food that will not fail on the festive table:
- Shrimp soup. Those who bought it note that the portion is rather large and because of this it is almost impossible to eat from the container, it is better to pour it into the tureen. If we talk about shrimp, then there are only 2-3 of them, while there is a lot of chicken meat. Of the minuses of this dish are vegetable ingredients, which are sliced ​​in long strips, because of this it is almost impossible to use soup aesthetically.
- Wasabi. Most likely due to the fact that many do not like this seasoning, the company began to put it too little. Therefore, wasabi lovers leave negative comments about its volume in the dish.
- Double-filled pizza is exactly the dish that everyone likes. There are several types, so almost every buyer will find something to their taste. The peculiarity of pizza is that it is not dry even along the edges, and a large number of ingredients causes gastronomic delight.
- French fries. But this is just the same dish that no one advises to buy. When a person buys it in a cafe or restaurant, they are served freshly cooked food, so it is crispy on the outside and soft inside. If the fries have a long way to go to the client, then the potatoes will definitely become damp and cease to be crispy. This will happen even if delivery takes 30 minutes.
Opinion of those who work
Next, we consider the reviews of employees about the "Two Shores"
Wherever a person goes to work, there are pros and cons everywhere. Of course, it is better to know about them in advance. To do this, read the reviews. If we talk about such a company as “Two Shores”, then many workers from the positive sides note good training, a friendly team and a clean cooking room.
Negative parties emit a lot more. Employees respond especially badly to technology, starting from a broken headset for communicating with a client and ending with a program for creating 1C orders. And this, of course, negatively affects customers and revenue in general.
An employment contract is rare, and many work informally, as employees in Samara emphasize. The reviews on “Two Shores” also note that the work schedule violates the law, since there are practically no breaks, and you have to work for 8-10 hours. And also no payments are made in favor of the state and to the employee's pension account.
Nevertheless, reading the reviews of employees of “Two Shores”, a dual impression is formed. Therefore, it is worthwhile to carefully understand the positive and negative sides.
pros
It is rather difficult to find reviews of couriers “Two Shores” about work. It is explained by the fact that most likely the company hires certain companies for these purposes.
Good training and ongoing training - this is one of the first items that employees have. Indeed, no matter what job a person chooses, Two Shores will provide him with training and a supervised internship. This is to ensure that employees are truly professionals. In addition, several times a year the company conducts trainings for advanced training. They are needed for those employees who decided to go up the career ladder.
Reviews of the work “Two banks” also include such a plus as a good office. It has a lot of space and there are various zones. Employees who answer calls do not have to sit where they cook. There is also a place to relax.
Testimonials from the drivers of “Two Shores” say that managers fully pay for gasoline and car expenses. What can not but rejoice the workers.
Negative sides
Despite all the pluses, reviews about working at Two Shores as a courier contain minuses, as well as other vacancies.
First of all, all employees note a black salary. Due to the fact that the majority of employees are informally employed, their payments are not registered by the state. And this means that the experience does not count. And also the company has the opportunity to regulate payments at its discretion.
Employee reviews about working at Two Shores report that they promise a salary of 30,000 or more during an interview. In fact, the salary is not fixed, and the hourly rate is paid only in the amount of 75 rubles. And this is only 600-800 rubles per day.
Fines
The reviews of the employees of “Two Shores” in St. Petersburg are mainly negative in nature, precisely because of wages. Penalties, which are objective and biased, cut most of the payments. Of course, small salaries do not please anyone.
The first most popular fine that employees write about in reviews is being late. The break lasts 10 minutes and during this time you need to have time to eat. This despite the fact that nutritionists and doctors have long found out that lunch can not be shorter than 40 minutes. Of course, no normal person can eat during this time. And if you stay at least 5 minutes, then a fine follows immediately.
But that is not all. If on any working day there are a lot of orders, then employees are not allowed to take a break at all.
There are also fines for absenteeism, improper ordering, rude treatment to a client, and so on. But these restrictions seem to be correct, unless, of course, they have been reduced to fanaticism.
The graph is a separate topic in the reviews. Few staff members note that management is listening to their requests. Most often, they are replaced in the way that is convenient for experienced employees who are in a trusting relationship with management. Again, if there is no way to go to work, then you need to look for a replacement yourself or pay a fine.
It is worth noting that in the reviews of drivers (“Two Shores”) in St. Petersburg they do not write about fines. Most likely, there are simply no deductions in this vacancy.
Controversy
Of course, there are a lot of negative reviews about the company, but you can find the opinions of people who are perplexed why they appear. It’s worth mentioning right away that these opinions are not supported by either a name or a photograph, so anyone could write them, including the leaders of “Two Shores”.
In these comments, employees are surprised about the negative about fines.This is justified by the fact that the payment is completely piece-rate, which means how many orders have been accepted, so much money will be received by a person. In principle, this is true, each employee is motivated to do a good job, which is beneficial both to himself and to management. But such information contradicts most comments. What about fines that reduce wages by several times?
This is justified by the fact that the penalty is issued only for serious violations. And very often they are canceled if the employee faithfully performs his duties. Such different reviews can appear because people who write comments can work in different cities.
Bonuses
The feedback from St. Petersburg employees in Two Banks contains not only negative and positive comments. People also describe the bonuses that the company provides.
First of all, employees are waiting for free meals on work shifts. But, despite the fact that the restaurant offers its customers rolls and pizza, workers' meals are much scarcer. The staff food consists of pasta, boiled rice, buckwheat, and so on. Of course, not restaurant food, but quite satisfying.
Bonuses are awarded and for overfulfillment of the plan, each employee is encouraged in this case with bonuses. And if you go to work as a food delivery man, you can get decent tips every day. Although many people pay with credit cards, there are still buyers who give a certain amount of cash to company employees. In the reviews, they note that it is tips that most often make up most of the earnings.
Negative comments about the menu.
Employee feedback on work at Two Shores has been fully discussed above. But what do people say about the food itself in the restaurant? As already noted, there are a lot of positive opinions on the Internet, but if you go to one of the most popular sites with customer comments, then the average score of “Two Shores” is 2.1 points. What exactly do not like customers?
Let's analyze:
- Seth "Metallica". Although specific rolls are described, reviews can be extended to the entire menu. Buyers did not like this set, because the rice was undercooked and cracked on the teeth. And also the hat from the sauce did not keep on the rolls, so they did not look very appetizing. Dry fish was completely tasteless.
- Hot Dog. The price of this dish is quite high in a restaurant, in the picture on the menu it looks much better than in fast-food kiosks. But as buyers notice, that hot dog that is brought with delivery is very different from the declared one.
- Wok noodles. This is a dish that has various reviews. Many people like the taste of noodles, added sauces and well-done vegetables. Negative commentators note that pasta is delivered very boiled and soft. This means that the noodles constantly stick to the teeth. Most likely, this review is relevant only for a particular institution. Few cooks make pasta digested.
- Roll "Philadelphia." As was written above, sushi of this type is not represented in the classic version. Therefore, their lovers have to choose from what is. Having ordered rolls with avocados, commentators note that solid fruit can be delivered. But that is not all. Fish that envelops sushi looks more like a skin of salmon than its meat.
Comments on Flampe
Most often people come to this site to find out the opinion of the buyers of this or that institution. Restaurant "Two Shores" is no exception. But many people notice that they decide to read the comments already when the order arrived and he does not please them.
More than half of the reviews contain information on poor delivery. Very often couriers bring an order 1-2 hours later. On the "Flampe" there is information that in some cases the wait lasted up to 5 hours. During this time, you can cook pizza and take it to a neighboring region.
Customers also note that operators can call back one hour after order confirmation and postpone the delivery time. Naturally, this sometimes puts a person in an awkward position.
But nevertheless, despite such oversights, “Two Shores” is trying in every possible way to smooth the situation. Although, if delivery was late, the company offered to make an absolutely free order for the same amount. Now the maximum that consultants provide is additional points that can be used to pay 50% of the purchase. This does not strongly motivate once again to order cold food.
If you refer to the site “Two Shores” in the section of the rules for the provision of services, you can find that the company does not give any guarantees about the delivery time. And it is strange when competition reaches such a high level. Almost any institution has long been offering to bring the entire order for a certain period or pay it for a client.
After reading such a number of reviews, you certainly would not want to order food at Two Shores. But on the other hand, advertising works great. Seeing a new promotion from this restaurant is hard to resist, as the discounts are very attractive. Therefore, any person who orders food here at home should understand that he does this at his own peril and risk.
