I don't see how that is anti-competitive. I buy my favorite sandwiches through these services because the deli doesn't offer delivery services. They are providing me with a service and i am paying for it higher prices and a delivery fee. Deli still gets the same amount of money if i walked in and bought it. Its like expedited passport services where you pay someone to go stand at the passport office line instead of doing it yourself. No one calls those services anti-competitive.
- albntomat0 6y agoIf that's the extent of what the delivery service does, that's fine. When the delivery service makes its own website/phone number, pretending to be the restaurant and intercepting its normal business, or starts doing deliveries without notifying the restaurant (potentially hurting the reputation of the restaurant), that's where the issues emerge. https://www.saddlebackbbq.com/how-google-doordash-grubhub-conspire-screw-local-restaurants https://www.saddlebackbbq.com/how-google-doordash-grubhub-co...
