People generally should use the best option. Often expense is the metric. These are able to operate at competitive rates because they get away with shenanigans. They should be regulated properly, then their rates would reflect that and people would use them less.
Already they are expensive AF. The menu prices on doordash can be like 50% more, then there are the service fees and more.
Yeah, last time I ordered through grubhub from a Chinese restaurant, by the time I paid the delivery fee, inflated menu price, service charge, and driver tip, I was looking at almost $90 for mid-tier Chinese food. I ordered by calling the restaurant up and ordering takeout and paid $40 instead.
I literally could order from halfway across the state and make a road trip out of it and still come out ahead.
100% agree. Too rich for me, or at least their local counterparts Foodora and Wolt, but that is highly subjective. I guess many just place a higher value on date night with PJ’s and a bed.
Once they fully stop subsidizing them with VC capital we'll probably see the return to traditional delivery
Yeah, it's this. The only thing innovated by DD or UberEats is avoiding regulation. This is the real cause of all of the enshittification that everyone is seeing. It's been the plan all along; charge an absolutely unsustainable price, jack things up when you're the only option. DD is already well along this pattern; it used to be much cheaper, and it's still going to go up.
