> I'm assuming that the waiter salary/tip will cover delivery costs... Unlikely. At least, not a non-exploitative delivery cost. Beyond the employee cost and mileage, there’s the fact that (in the US) delivery drivers are also tipped. They’re also probably more expensive for a company to insure.

If consumers don't drive to get their food, over time their insurance should come down. It should come down more since a restaurant delivery driver can make multiple stops on one optimized route vs a customer just going to the restaurant and back, but once you factor in how much more dangerous scooter delivery is vs car maybe this doesn't hold up.
