I appreciate the devil's advocate. To be frank, I just made up the 5% figure, it's based on my observations looking at Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and similar apps. Though the theme seems to be the same, a lot of times you'll see they actually match the in store prices, which makes absolute no sense to me.
I had an experience with a Deliveroo driver, who told me the restaurant took an hour to make the food despite saying it was ready and that's why the delivery was almost two hours late. He ended up waiting for one hour at the restaurant for them to make my order. He was asking me to make a complaint against the restaurant because there's not much he can do.
My small order for a single person, costing £7.50, took two hours out of this person's life. Now I'll admit I don't know how the system works and whether the people get paid to wait around doing nothing but I very much doubt it, and actually felt bad that I made some person trying to make a living wait an hour at a restaurant so he could use his own vehicle to deliver a burrito to me, possibly at a loss.
But yeah everything's fine, let's keep going
- akho 7y agoWhy doesn’t matching in-store prices make sense to you? You are not taking up valuable table space, so it ends up cheaper for the restaurant. The delivery service is certainly taking a share of that benefit.
