There really isn't. Most people wouldn't put in the effort to get an order fixed, especially in a large cities because of the delivery times.
To the company its just the cost of down business.
Also, the support staff from those platforms obviously don't know how a dish is supposed to be, so they'll just apologize to the customer even if everything was correct.
In combination, the led to me one time accidentally report a dish as missing. I had ordered something called a "burger inspiration" and the picture on the website was a regular burger. But I received a soup instead. So I called to ask what happened. The support guy apologized, confirmed that it should have been a proper burger with bread and stuff, and offered to fix it. Later, another soup arrived. With a bit of research, I found a PDF of the restaurants in person menu and indeed the dish is supposed to be a soup. It's just that neither me nor DeliveryHero knew that...
I'm guessing there's little incentive for them to improve their online menu listings or to fix confusing images, because the restaurant, not them, will pay the price.
