Kitchener Waterloo
Get Ready To Skip The Dishes!
As many of you know both Diane
and I work full time, but provide media coverage for events most evenings and
weekends. This doesn’t leave a lot of
time for cooking dinner in between. Last week before heading to the Alan Doyle
concert we tried out SKIP THE DISHES
to save us both time and energy. Skip
The Dishes is an online restaurant/food establishment platform that
arranges pickup or delivery of your requested meal. They have over 20 locations in Canada and the
service is now available in Kitchener Waterloo.
After we placed our order for delivery, we received a meal in about 30
minutes and had minimal clean up after. It was quick and convenient and a great
option for busy families. You can place
an order to pick up on your way home, or if you are already at your house you
can have your meal delivered to your home.
*Please note, delivery times and
delivery charges vary depending on the restaurant you choose and the day of the
week it is being ordered. Expect longer
wait times on weekends.
The Steps To Save
On Your Skip The Dishes Order
Skip The Dishes is offering 10% off
your order with the promo code THOSE2GIRLS. Below are simple steps to place an
order (using a computer, if using a phone most options take up the full screen)
1. Head to the Skip The Dishes
Website https://www.skipthedishes.com
2. In the top right corner click LOG
IN (to make it easy I used the facebook login)
3. In the middle of the page, choose
either delivery or pickup. Then type in your address. Don’t worry that there is
a place for a unit number you can put that in later. You still have to add your
address if it is pickup so that you can advance to the next step. It is what
lets you know which options are available for your city.
4. A pop up window with a map will
come up. Next click on the red bar that says FIND RESTAURANTS under the map.
5. A list of local choices will come
up for you. In the top right corner, you can also pick a heading to get your listing
sorted by delivery times or delivery charges.
6. Now you can start clicking on the
restaurants listed to see what they are offering for Skip The Dishes customers.
7. Once you have decided on a
restaurant, make your meal selections
8. Before you click the ADD TO ORDER
bar, you can select the quantity of meals (IE if you are getting identical
dishes) and any instructions you wish the restaurant to have in regards to your
food selections.
9. After your order is complete, in
the top right corner of your screen, click CHECKOUT
10. On this screen you will see a map.
If you chose the delivery option, under the map, fill in the fields for your
delivery driver IE side door, unit number, buzz code etc. (to ensure that there
would not be an issue I also put in the phone number of the place it’s being
delivered to)
11. The next box is where you select
the amount to tip your driver (if the order was placed for delivery)
12.
NOW THIS IS WHERE YOU GET TO SAVE
10% in the box that says Have a Voucher? Type in THOSE2GIRLS and your price
will be adjusted accordingly.
13. Then select to proceed to
payment. There you can select the method
of payment that works best for you.
14. After the payment is processed
you can watch real time updates of the courier arriving to pick up your order
at the establishment and delivering it to you!
Once the order arrives, enjoy it
knowing that there’s not a sink full of dishes waiting for you after.

While delivery isn't available in my area, pick up is. There are lots of restaurants near by that we haven't tried, and this would be a great way to do it! With the warmer weather coming, who wants to turn on the stove?
ReplyDeleteThis would be a wonderful treat for my busy, little family!
ReplyDeleteI want to win because I am tired of having the same meals all the time.
ReplyDeleteRecently I have been hearing a lot about Skip Dishes and I think it is a clever idea! I would love to win this to give this mommy a little break from cooking

ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool concept.
ReplyDeleteI love that there are soooo many options - whatever I'm craving they can bring it to me - gourmet pizza, Frat Burger, East African Cafe, Bombay Bhel - fantastic! My kids are picky eaters, so being able to get our more exotic wishes delivered would be great for us.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Sounds just perfect when you want a great dinner without the work AND having to get dressed to go out!:)
ReplyDeletewe have limited places we order from. a gift card would help me try other places rafflecopter charityk
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a night off from cooking!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try it out because there are quite a few places that we would love to order from that don't deliver!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try it as it opens up so many different cuisine options outside of ordering pizza!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try Skip The Dishes because the amount of restaurants that deliver are limited, I can't do pick-up as I don't drive, & also because we want to try delicious food!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try and few restaurants that have skip the dish
ReplyDeleteWould love to get a break sometimes from cooking and always worrying about what to serve for dinner. Thank you so much for the chance
ReplyDeletewith 2 kids under 3 and I don't have to cook. lol
ReplyDeleteWe're a family of 5 that's always on the go. It would be cool to have a meal sent to us
ReplyDeleteMy son and daughter-in-law have used Skip the Dishes quite often, and really like it. It encourages me to give it a try, to give me a break from cooking every day without going out.
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for any excuse I can find to skip the dishes for 6 of us.
ReplyDeleteId like to try skip the dishes because sometimes I just dont want to cook and I dont want just fast food
ReplyDeleteI'D WANT this for my daughter who moved to ON, so that I know she's eating something (we don't have this in our small town)
ReplyDeleteI would like to try it when visiting my son so we could just order in.
ReplyDeleteI hate cooking, that's a good reason, right?
ReplyDeleteI would want to try this out because I have little time to cook and no time to wash dishes when I do.
ReplyDeleteTo try a new restaurant!
ReplyDeleteThis site seems to have a pretty stellar restaurant selection and I am frequently too wiped/lazy and resort to take out - so this is a good new option.

ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful choices on Skip the Dishes. I also like that I can order to pick up if I just feel like getting out of the house for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteReally good advice!!! Thank you for the valuable information on this tips.
