these vertically integrated proprietary institutions need to be broken up. they cause competition in the wrong way, by forcing restaurants to sign up for all of them, and juggle multiple, competing, non-compatible infrastructures. its a different kind of anti-trust that creates an arms race, the necessity to invest in all the oligopoly's participants or be left behind by those that do. its like a weird hostage situation, where multiple people can hold you hostage simultanious.y the online menu needs to be separate from the pos that receives the order, the request for dispatch to the delivery driver should be another component, and the online marketing another, allowing the restaurant and delivery driver to mix and match. at a minimum the advertising+menu+order placement should be broken up from the on site order processing+delivery. And with regard to the roads, there shouldnt be a bitesquad, uber eats, grubhub, postmates, and doordash delivery driver waiting in the lobby at the same time all driving to the same neighborhood. theres obviously better ways to load balance and distribute the tasks, than by which company submitted the order.
