I keep telling myself that I don't have a dragons den addiction, and then I realised I watched this video 27 minutes after it was uploaded...

[@Lamb-wn2hg]

Yep

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

So? The doesn't mean you have an addiction. It just means your notifications are working.

Good business idea if they really push for florist butchers and that sort of thing that isn’t able on the delivoo and such it could be a really great business

[@JonasHamill]

Their app looks like teletext, or early html design before CSS. Think they need to hire a designer

Why don't they have the name of the company written on their display? I can't even remember it. Wasted opportunity.

[@VanceRefrigeration]

Give them a break. They’ve built something really cool and clearly forgot to add it

[@shaakirabintyahya7359]

the name is Shocal

[@hearmenow909]

Good save at the end with the 20 postcodes, £2 million line. Fair play lads.

[@TheBlakey09]

I live in the area these lads operate! They’re thriving! Shocal is massive in the area of Trafford, Manchester! Great lads! Amazing service!

[@macioluko9484]

I’m still waiting on a great last mile delivery solution to multi unit residential towers. We’re in 2024 and we still have brand new 30 story plus buildings with deliveries stacking up in the lobby or being turned away by “concierge” robots on their phones oblivious to what is happening around them.

[@ChintanCG]

Did touker run out of office space that came packaged with his offers😅

[@Rleatfitness]

I think he must have sold some of it off I remember seeing one of the businesses he invested in saying they were looking for a new office

[@patobrien6364]

[@andrewstotty1146]

These two have a good attitude

[@ashleygoggs5679]

absolutely brilliant idea. I think we can all agree we need to help out the locals. Just a shame the platform is so bloated.

[@MLife1972]

You're not helping locals because they have to pay these two guys 18%. That's a lot for what is essentially delivery but businesses feel forced to offer these services to compete with Amazon, Uber Eats etc...

[@SuperPuggle]

Always love the first comments being extremely vague and clearly very intelligent women. Definitely not some 17 year old scammer from Mumbai

[@jdjd9935]

They're bots

[@Terrylizard]

I don't understand this comment?

[@theotherone8036]

​@@Terrylizard So they post the same comment on literally every video wherever it is. It can be something positive or something negative. They're all scripts or bots. Many of the bots post political comments... The biggest one right now are comments in support of Palestine. Read the first comment below.

Why would you give away so much equity for 80K? I would think those local companies could all pay 5K and get equity in a company they all use themselves.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

They want a Dragon clearly to help them.

[@eddiediesel9035]

Good on you Touka.

[@BlondasticFantastic]

G'wan! A tough Market to break into but the story, 2 million in 22 postcodes and the personality and resilience of this duo is captivating! Love how Tuca connected and saw their potential. Im expecting to see bug things in future. Congrats 🎉

I went to school with Max never knew he was entrepreneurial

[@michaelmillis9772]

Why didn't they shake hands with Touker at the end? It wasnt Covid restrictions anymore. Odd...

So happy for them. They are absolute cracking good lads. ❤😂 These guys can turn gold out of shet. I'd invest anything in them ❤.

Perfect to go with breakfast

[@FilmMakerJose]

Dragon want you to scale the next day, keep hitting the postcodes and scales it slowly. It’s a good idea

Next to face the dragons, is Syrian ruler Bashar el Assad.

Delivery food outlets pay Uber and Deliveroo 40%? That cannot possibly be correct. Restaurant margins are thinner than retail.

[@Millennial_Manc]

There’s some variance dependent on volumes but (McDonalds won’t pay that) but they charge many small retailers that much. My neighbours run a cafe and bakery in the area covered by the app and they pay 40% to one of those.

[@wardosravin]

@@Millennial_Manc Wow. These bloody delivery apps. If only they all agreed to leave the apps together. I am here in Malaga and many places don't offer delivery and/or are not on delivery apps.

I'm too early. The commenter with the facts on how the business is doing or if the investment went through hasn't shown up yet.

[@mrpoohead2654]

Too early to tell - they only went on at the start of last year, and the last tax year has only just ended so figures probably aren’t up on CH yet. I’m gonna guess… haven’t expanded much yet or earned a lot

Disability, lack of access, wanting something that you can only get from somewhere else.. lots of reasons

[@annaagapova3583]

Delivery services exist for quite some time. People do it because they want to spend that time on something better than walking to the store

[@philipoconnor4263]

Yes, but superstitions (gods) in reality are a real self deception.

[@davidc4408]

@@philipoconnor4263 God or a higher entity is not superstition. We can only go on evidence of what we have today and we do not know or can prove what the higher entity is. Evidence for a God or higher entity is based on mathematical probability and rationality. Probability this universe came into existence randomly from virtually nothing just some atoms to bring for cell and then life to complex homosapien DNA level. This universe had a start and purpose so do homosapiens.
