LONDON, November 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Love takeaway, but hate answering the door in your undies?
Then the JUST EAT Nosh Knocker has you covered
Introducing the gastronomic gadget that keeps the world at arm's length when you need it most
Today JUST EAT, the UK's leading online takeaway service, is introducing the Nosh Knocker - a game-changing device that will revolutionise the lives of Britain's takeaway lovers. Creating a more streamlined takeaway-to-sofa experience, the Nosh Knocker eliminates the need for any human contact, sparing delivery drivers from having to witness you in your 2004 faded festival t-shirt or Harry Potter PJs.

The Nosh Knocker abolishes all awkward door-step dalliance with the delivery driver. Friendly deliverers can now simply ring a bell that plays your favourite takeaway-inspired tunes and slide your tasty takeaway through the door - think Pavarotti for pizza or Mariachi for Mexican. Not only that, but the advanced illumination interface means it's never been easier to see your beloved bhuna or sweet 'n' sour sensation.
Currently in prototype stage, the Nosh Knocker comes off the back of consumer demand on JUST EAT social media[1]. This cat flap-inspired contraption has been designed by avid takeaway lover and head of Takeawayinnovations.org, who came to JUST EAT with his creation, urging them to take it to market to fulfil his vision of one being installed on every front door in Britain.
The Nosh Knocker (patent pending) has you covered for nearly 82% of standard takeaway deliveries - although anything super-sized may take a bit more force to fit through. Failing that, XXL pizza boxes can easily be folded in two and passed through the portal - customers may just need to iron them out the other end once they are inside.
For those worried about mess, the high-tech flap brings together an innovative red plastic design with cutting-edge, wipe-clean technology for enhanced hygiene, and is also fully lockable to stop food thieves such as cats, badgers and that sticky-fingered neighbour from getting their hands on your grub.
Graham Corfield (@corfers), UK Managing Director at JUST EAT comments: "With 74% of our customers claiming to have been embarrassed by what they are wearing when they answered the door to a takeaway delivery driver, 64% missing a crucial part of a TV show, and 8% being caught naked when the delivery driver showed up[2], we knew we had to take action. So we have commissioned TakeawayInnovations.org to create a prototype device to limit those embarrassing moments. If demand is strong and it goes into production, our customers will be able to relax, safe in the knowledge that they don't need to show their faces to the outside world once they've chosen their food from JUST EAT's unrivalled list of 22,500 restaurant partners. Now that in itself is a mini fist pump moment."
The JUST EAT Nosh Knocker is the ultimate must-have for any discerning takeaway-lover, food enthusiast or weary worker who just wants to relax after a long day at the office. Still in its infancy stages, consumers are encouraged to visit http://www.just-eat.co.uk/blog/the-nosh-knocker/ now to register their interest to put this prized portal into production.
