No, delivery apps charge you extra and pretend it's part of the restaurant cost. If you can buy your burrito at the restaurant for $8, the delivery service is going to show you a price of $10 on the order screen (and add in their $4 delivery fee, etc).
- jagger27 6y agoThis is only half true. Uber in particular has a loose rule that says any prices you display online have to match what's posted on Uber Eats. I say it's loose because restaurants just raise their prices on Uber Eats anyway and not post their full menu prices online. Citation: my family runs a restaurant that has slightly higher prices on Uber Eats despite the rule against it. It wasn't Uber that set those prices though, it was us. It still doesn't fully offset the 30% haircut we're taking though.
