- ikeyany 6y agoThe idea here is to avoid contact with human beings altogether.
- chrisseaton 6y agoMany people these days just flat out don't like having to make or receive a phone call.

- BiosElement 6y agoLanguage barrier and awful call quality also come into play. It's sometimes next to impossible to understand them and that's even assuming a strong language grasp. Much of the best food comes from the old dude/woman who's been cooking all their life, but not necessarily the easiest to communicate with.
- cortesoft 6y agoI can re-order my previous orders from Grubhub or DoorDash with one hand on my phone while I chase after the kids or am busy doing something else. Don't have to enter payment info, find my wallet, look at a menu, or worry about the noise level.
- JAlexoid 6y agoHave you talked over the phone to an average Chinese restaurant lady or Taco place? If I had to ask for the menu from my local, one of the best that I had, taco truck - I'd hang myself by the time I got to actually deciding what my order would be.
- maccard 6y agoWaiting on hold, handling payment details over the phone, miscommunicating an order, language barriers (not everyone who runs a restaurant speaks the local language fluently, and not everyone living in a place speaks the local language fluently), not having to explain my address. Then there's the benefits of online - menu is accessible, often they're using stripe/Shopify so my payment info isn't everywhere, it's one click, I get email confirmations and receipts, I can leave free form notes easily, and last but not least, I don't have to talk to a person who may or may not want to talk to me.
