This will be an interesting natural economics experiment. An economist would say that it shouldn't matter- that as long as restaurants can adjust prices, and consumers are price sensitive, that the total delivery cost should stay about the same.
Curious what will happen.
- skybrian 7y agoIf the restaurant raises menu prices then pick-up orders would be more expensive. Maybe they don't want to do that? Another possibility might be that delivery services charge more to consumers. Apparently some delivery services waived fees during the crisis? They could stop doing that, keeping their revenue per delivery the same. (But this would encourage consumers to switch to pick-up.)
- chongli 7y agoThey can raise menu prices and offer a pickup discount. Chinese restaurants near me have been doing this for as long as I can remember.
