Wimpy also recently expanded its service through a partnership with online food delivery platform Deliveroo.

Delivery services are currently available at 40% of Wimpys restaurants and will increase to 50% by the end of 2018.

Wimpy’s operations manager Simon Noble said: “We have been delighted with the uptake of the home delivery service, which is helping introduce Wimpy to a new, younger audience and makes it easy for existing customers to enjoy our fabulous food from the comfort of their own homes.

“Home delivery has definitely been a very good addition to our offering and it’s certainly helping to increase our restaurant sales, which is excellent.”

“Our franchisees are thrilled, those enjoying the most success say it is like having a virtual restaurant or an eighth day of the week, which is why we plan to offer home delivery through as many of our restaurants as possible.”
