The problem with this model is lack of both supply and demand. On the supply side the revenues are relatively low restaurants amortise costs across lots of customers which someone hosting in their house can't really do, so they either have to charge more (weakening the demand-side) or take the financial hit. There's not really a lot of money in it for the amount of work involved. On the demand side there's no significant value-add for customers over restaurants. That's not to say that there's no business model that might work in the space, but rather it will require more innovation. The obvious model would be for people to operate their own takeaway businesses. Services like Deliveroo and UberEATs essentially mean that all you need to be a takeaway is a kitchen, everything else (marketing, payment process, delivery, etc.) you can outsource to your platform. Takeaways are much more scalable than "eat-in" allowing for more revenue and the demand-side doesn't care if you have a shop-front or not.
