This is basically every order on Postmates at this point. No one is actually paying their insane delivery fees. I worked as a driver for a few weeks in Berkeley and it was like clockwork. Postmates sends out a free credit promo, get a bunch of ultra cheap short orders, and make like $6 to deliver someone an Iced Tea. There's no possible way the economics can work out for this.
- in_cahoots 9y agoSounds like they're trying to artificially inflate their metrics to keep investors happy. New customers and more orders = growth, even if they're burning a ton of cash to get it.
