I use a food delivery service (website only, no app) that doesn’t even remember the chosen language setting, and of course, never keeps you logged in past 24hrs. So effectively, need to login every time I make an order...

That happens to me even on YouTube. Every couple of months I have to fix the language setting and switch back to dark theme. What can't be fixed are Google's weird attempts at auto-translating video titles from other languages, making me click on videos that I simply cannot understand. Don't do that, Google. Do full title, thumbnail and video translation with 90% accuracy or just...don't. Half-assed tech is easy but not helpful for anyone.

This is my biggest pet peeve about delivery service websites. What are the chances that I've moved house since I last ordered a pizza two days ago? Why do you incessantly ask for my postcode? When I log in, assume I'm the same person at the same address. If I have moved and accidentally order to the old house...well that's on me and I'd have to be pretty stupid (or hungry) to do such as thing.

I mean they could do both.

Default to last postcode but display it on the confirmation screen "Sending your Pizza to LE13 XYZ" - amazon does it right (as you'd mostly expect)
