On a per-restaurant-basis, it'll likely not work. The attractive part of an aggregator is that you don't need to keep a few people per restaurant to make deliveries. And you need to have them available whether people order or not, because predicting demand is hard, and if you disappoint once, you might not get another chance.
If you have the drivers work for an aggregator, it gets much easier. That doesn't have to be a for-profit corporation though, it could be restaurants getting together and cooperating.
- jeffdavis 7y agoWhy can't you aggregate? It's just whether the aggregator is making the deal with the restaurant or the customer. Making the deal with the restaurant has a lot of advantages.
- luckylion 7y agoOh, you mean have it separated where the aggregator basically just works as a delivery service for the restaurant? The user orders from the restaurant, they dispatch to the aggregator who handles pickup & delivery? That could work, and would certainly shift the power towards restaurants.
