I don't get those delivery companies (Doordash, Grubhub, etc). Even with a first-timer promotion, a meal would end up being close to 25% more expensive than ordering directly with the restaurant. I'm happy to order directly with a local restaurant on the phone, drive 10 minutes (especially now with no traffic) and get my food on my terms. I end up paying way less and the restaurant keeps the full dollar amount. It's a no-brainer win-win situation. I wish more people would order directly with restaurants.

Some fastfoods, with quick preparations and basic food can actually benefit from services like DoorDash. If they don't like technology, are not marketing specialists, live mostly offline, then it can bring them many new customers. So I think it's up to the restaurant to decide. Premium restaurants may have money and skills to have their website with their delivery ordering system and returning customers. It varies, I guess...
