I recently read this article and was surprised that services like Grubhub and Seamless are not only charging the user a service fee, and using tips to pay less of a guaranteed hourly wage to workers, but also charging a 10% -30% fee to the restaurant owners for result placement. This article compares this to mafia tactics. Also considering most restaurants don't have that high a margin traditionally even 10% is often all of the profits.

Just blaming a living wage seems like a gross oversimplification. Also landlords and exploding rents were not factored into this article.
