Usually platforms like this are rigged so nobody comes out on top except the company providing the platform. Maybe there are awesome chefs working in Doordash food factories but it's probably because they just don't have any better options.

  The level of quality for cloud kitchens (only talking about the area of London I used to order from) is not the level of quality you'd expect from a chef entrepreneur.

  A successful chef creating delivery meals is easily replaced and I think that’s the model. Ala Amazon, the “cloud kitchen” is the market maker and can simply ape what sells.

See controversies in au courant “food halls” happening now for examples.
