YO! Milton Keynes Reviews Summary

Ordering System

Pros:

• "The option to order what you want even when it's not on the conveyor is good, and the button you can press for service is convenient and helpful."
• "Although it's changed a lot since all the lockdown started, they have made it just as amazing as it's always been."
• "I love the new system of ordering your food rather than hoping what you want will be on the conveyer of awesomeness."
• "The new system works better, you order from your phone and your food and drinks come to your table."
• "Easy to get to grips with the phone app ordering system and I'm a technophobe."
• "The way you order food via QR code is convenient and has details of allergens etc which is helpful."
• "They've also changed the way in which you order... you have to do so via an app and the conveyor belt now works with a traffic light system."

Cons:

• "Ordering via app instead of being able to look at menu is a total pain."
• "Self ordering and payment system just seems like a drag."
• "You order your food on an app and it's delivered to your table on the belt. Just not the experience it used to be."
• "No food on conveyer belts any more, slow process to order on app."
• "Food ordering was all messed up as they’ve just charged their ordering system again."

• "Disciplinary of staff is on view for all to see to tarnish our visit slightly."
• "Waiters don't check on you especially when you paid for 'unlimited' green tea extremely difficult to get refills."
