Jane Orchard, marketing manager at Waitrose, said: "We want our customers to have a voice and be able to influence the way we work at Waitrose.

"MyWaitrose will give our shoppers the opportunity to give feedback on everything we do, as well as giving them a place to interact with like-minded foodies."
