Maybe, but a lot of restaurants despise Ubereats and want it to die, so they can't count on goodwill or loyalty there. (This is second-hand from a couple local restaurant owners; I am not one.)
As I understand it, Uber is playing a sort of TicketMaster-ish game, demanding exclusivity (no having your own drivers, no using competitors) and funny terms about hosting your menu designed to make you dependent on them.
I despise Uber, and when my local pizza shop was essentially forced to start using them, I started walking to pick up my greasepie. So I guess Uber is good for me, too.

- __jal 7y agoI'm really curious about this. I've known one of the people I talked to a long time, and while I don't audit his business, I believe him when he says the contract says he can't hire his own drivers. What, exactly, is false?
