We've been ordering a delivery every Friday from a different local restaurant every week. It's something to look forward to, but we also want to support the local places that we used to be able to go to until we're through this. If everyone stopped ordering and just cooked at home, there would be no restaurants that survive this at all.
And let's face it, small local food shops have the same problem as restaurants - they're too small to have their own websites for ordering. So everyone is ordering groceries from the big chain supermarkets - or Amazon Fresh. All of that money is going straight to giant corporations instead of local businesses.
This is a good opportunity for some small producers to keep going. We ordered from one place I saw on insta that had a stall in a food market hall which is closed, and now they're doing delivery orders from their flat. There's no way this person could organise relationships with drivers and payment processors all on their own without using a platform.
