> For example time spent cooking, grocery shopping The time most people would spend cooking or grocery shopping isn't financially valuable time: it isn't time I would've worked another hour, and if I did, I'm salaried so the wage is the same. For some, it will still feel comparably expensive. Why spend $25 on delivery, if I'm not going to do anything for the next hour anyways and raw materials cost $5? I'm paying rent on a dwelling that has a stove regardless of the decision. It comes to having the disposable income and being price insensitive.

I think the idea is the overall costs will be similar enough that a lot of people would consider delivery from cloud kitchens. This does not apply if it costs 25 for delivery. For people who have ample time, retired people, people who take care of their kids home, the time factor doesn't apply. But nothing really applies to 100% of the population. If the costs are similar, people would rather spend an extra hour with their loved ones, playing video games or whatever makes them happy than cook.
