Interesting thoughts. I wrote along this line about UberEats and what is wrong with their current model. They believe they can win the battle thanks to subsidized unit economics. However this is simply not sustainable. The same conclusion is valid for all on-demand delivery startups.
Instead they should leverage their existing community, i.e. users being located next to each other. Similarly to UberPool where ride-sharing is the only way for Uber/Lyft/etc to work, grouping users for food delivery with variable rewards based on location (i.e. discounts) is the way to go.
