You got a source for that or some other reading material? Never witnessed it myself so just curious.

  Definitely seen in the German market Takeaway buying tonnes of domains.

  I think this is an example: https://www.afhaalrestaurantpikantochicken-rotterdam.nl/ https://www.afhaalrestaurantpikantochicken-rotterdam.nl/ Its a place that's on thuisbezorgd but has no own website. Just this shady ridiculously long URL that is an exact copy of the thuisbezorgd page, with a thuisbezorgd banner on it. If we do a whois on the URL, the registrar is TAKEAWAY.COM (so thuisbezorgd) who happens to have 90,237 more domains: https://whois.domaintools.com/afhaalrestaurantpikantochicken-rotterdam.nl https://whois.domaintools.com/afhaalrestaurantpikantochicken....

They do? I didn't know that. I only know them from their Dutch branch Thuisbezorgd, which seems fairly decent, and has contracts with connected restaurants. Quite recently they've been under attack for abusing their near-monopoly (they do have Deliveroo and Uber Eats as competitors, as well many independent restaurants; many connected restaurants also have their own site) by raising their margins, putting pressure on restaurants. GrubHub sounds like the worst of the worst, so I was quite surprised to learn they were bought by Thuisbezorgd's parent.

  I only got anecdotal evidence. Sometimes i just google the name of a restaurant i want to order. Most of the times the results are: - ad: order X on thuisbezorgd - google widget about X - 1) squated domain with thuisbezorgd order page for X - 2) real domain of restaurant X
