What I hate about these delivery apps is the hidden markups. If I order the food and it says the price is X and the fee is Y, I'd like to be able to trust that. But if I look online and find out that the price of the dish I just ordered is jacked up by $2, that's turned me off from using them.
- bluedevil2k 7y agoThat’s the restaurant jacking up the price for the food delivery services. Covers their tips and stuff.
- dariusj18 7y agoThis is part of the problem. The delivery service shouldn't allow a markup, just like credit card companies of old didn't allow restaurants to pass on any of the transaction fees by contract. It really helped with adoption by consumers.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoThis attitude is the problem; consumers want the convenience but don't want to pay for it.
- dariusj18 7y agoI don't mind paying for it, but I want to know how much I am paying. The other day I ordered from Instacart and saw the receipt from the grocery, I paid 25% of the total ($200) to get the delivery. There's delivery fee, service fee, tip all exposed, but the markup on the food items was more than all of that combined. That's a bunch of bullshit.
