Subsidized for who though? It's not clear that the consumers, the restaurants or the Drivers are actually getting a good deal here.

- roflulz 6y agoconsumers get it cheaper than it should actually cost? restaurants get to sell more volume during covid, otherwise there's no way they'd have the volume to support staying open, and drivers are getting paid for something that normally wouldn't be a viable thing, I don't think many are leaving better opportunities, otherwise, they wouldn't do it...
- devalgo 6y agoHave you used any of these apps? Delivery Fee + Servicing Fees + Driver Tip is usually minimum +20% on your order total. How is that cheaper? Restaurants have to pay a flat % to the Apps and this usually crushes their profit even with volume. Do we even need to argue that Uber drivers are getting a good deal? Car maintenance + lack of benefits usually leaves them making minimum wage or worse. It's A job but I don't think anyone is saying its a Good one.
