I just noticed it this weekend. Side of egg rolls on Doordash is $10, additional egg roll $2. On menu $6.50 and additional egg roll $1. When I noticed that, I immediately removed the order and called the restaurant directly. The markups for ordering through doordash are ridiculous. I can afford to pay $25 for a burrito, but I'm not going to do that. That's a ridiculous price for being lazy/greedy.

$12 for some egg rolls is just way too much!! Oof.

  My first thought was that's like Monster Cable margins. On the other hand... the materials cost of an egg roll in quantity 10 is $0.51 based no some research I just did. In general a restaurant should expect to price a menu item at 4X food cost, so right around the $2.00 mark.

    And when I’m sitting at a restaurant table enjoying at least decent service and atmosphere I don’t even bother to price out the difference because its paying for and different product. But grocery vs delivery its much more relevant.

Did you have it delivered for "free"? Can you calculate how much the delivery person got out of that trip?
