we use doordash and grubhub all the time but the other day we noticed our local chick-fil-a offering delivery from their app. No 3rd party delivery service, just THEM. We tried it and I could not believe how fast the food arrived and was placed on our door-step (with no human delivery guy interaction). It was like 7 mins after the order all the food was there. I thought it was a joke my kid was playing on me at first with clever bags and boxes from previous orders. But nope, it was the real order!
- t-writescode 7y agoI've been hearing from my local shops, too, that they do not like DoorDash or GrubHub. Apparently it makes restaurants look bad? And I guess they skim too much off the top? I've definitely been asked to do take out or use the company's delivery service when possible. I guess Chick-Fil-A took notice of that, too. If you can, I would call the local shops you're ordering from and see if they would rather you do delivery with them, too, especially if it's a really local shop, not something a town over.
