West Belfast cafe frustrated as 'Just Eat refund scam' may force local businesses to close

A popular West Belfast cafe has spoken out about the "soul-destroying" impact of food delivery service "scam" that is circulating online on local businesses.

Joseph McCall, owner of The Grub Hub, took to social media after having to issue a number of refunds over the weekend to people ordering through the Just Eat app.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Joseph said: "There are rising costs on everything at the minute in the food industry and I only opened up my shop about a year ago and we could have never expected these costs, it's absolutely mad and we are struggling. The shop is really busy but the likes of electric bills, gas bills, food bills and wages constantly add up.
