My family has owned / operated a resturant for over two decades so i have endless personal experience with the delivery apps.

Uber DoorDash etc are not even in the business of delivery. Their business model was built on mob tactics and they operate more like payday lenders https://twitter.com/racistjourno/status/1324554551513546753">https://twitter.com/racistjou...
It was always bad but somewhat ignorable pre-covid bc it was a small part of your business. This year tho, combination of covid shutting everything down while being beholden to contracts that range from 20%-40% commission is completely destroying places.
Grubhub used to accumulate thousands and thousands of URLs related to specific restaurants & use them to set up their own websites that it would work to the top of Google search results & if you clicked them it redirected you to their app to order from
They also did similar things with phone numbers where they’d post app-specific numbers on its websites Yelp etc & would use those numbers to charge restaurants commissions for phone calls — even if the call didn’t result in an order.
Restaurants were largely forced into contracts bc of shit like this. It was essentially better to just allow them to steal from you and stream line it & at least have some quality control over ur product/brand/image bc it’s more costly to try and fight them most of the time.
Not gonna post anything from my own place rn for obvious reasons- but here’s some invoices Remember the “service” we get here is simply a tablet that shows orders & Our employees enter it manually/package it etc the exact same way they do when the customer calls or comes in

No one in this “industry” has ever turned a profit btw. Theyre still backed entirely by venture capital in Silicon Valley

tech VCs betting that the horse theyre backing will be the one standing when the others have all become insolvent. another transfer / consolidation of wealth
They also operate with a “turf” mindset like they don’t infringe much on eachothers areas of operation so there’s nothing to drive up service quality / drive down prices

It’s like this dystopian feudal nightmare backed by tech bros that’s being held together by crony capitalism
