Ordering delivery at large volume?

for freshness, it’s good to order things one meal at a time. but isn’t it a good thing too, to order more at a time, and save some leftover in the fridge / freezer? first there’s the advantage of minimizing social interactions. but i was also thinking about the delivery people. for large order we can tip more generously. or is it better to create more, smaller jobs for them?

Personally, I’d opt for larger orders, as infrequently as possible, and massive tips no matter how large the order (after all, they’re the ones exposing themselves).

the literalist in me saw the title and thought "why shout at them? it’s like americans abroad who seem to think increased volume improves comprehension: DO? YOU? SPEAK? ENGLISH?

I am a fan of larger orders in this scenario. Saves a trip for the delivery people, and some foods like pizza are better reheated (in a pan).

No, no, no :slight_smile: If reheating, we put our stone in at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes after it comes up to heat.
