Cooking for oneself, or inviting over friends for a shared meal isn't what is at issue here. The conflict is over a new commercial enterprise - people preparing and serving meals for profit in their homes, mediated by apps/web services - in an industry with existing regulations. The situation has many of the same tensions as Airbnb vs the traditional hotel industry.
- dexterdog 11y agoAnd like ABnB/Uber the industry is ripe for disruption because of the over-regulation that exists in many places. When people are motivated to make money and realize that the best way to do that is not to cut corners, but to have satisfied customers there is no need for regulation by a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy that usually operates primarily in its own interest.
- ghaff 11y agoReally? Sure, there's been IMO unwarranted hostility toward food trucks in some cities. But I wouldn't generally put health/safety inspections and other regulations concerning restaurants in the over-regulation "by a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy bucket." I'm sure that if one is a restaurant owner, there are regulatory things one finds annoying but, given the many insider stories one can see or read, it doesn't strike me as an industry that cries out for laxer standards.
