There are so many scammy ways they are approaching this. For example you think by looking up the restaurant on an app then clicking the phone number button to place your order directly, that you might avoid the fees. Nope. It’s a man-in the middle phone number, and they take the cut anyway.
Go to the stores website and pick your order, and have it fulfilled via doordash? Fine, you’ll pay a fee for the delivery driver. But the restaurant doesn’t pay doordash fee since they didn’t drive the business to the restaurants website.
But, next week you use doordash app and reorder the same thing? From now on the restaurant will pay the doordash fee.
- petra 6y agoThis isn't scammy. This is how businesses always behaved. There's this great cook/chef/engineer. He currently is the reason people come to your business. Won't you try to learn his recipes/secrets/commoditize-him in case you'll want/need to replace him with another, while still benefiting from his customers ? Business isn't fair.
- mcv 6y agoI've recently started to take care to order directly from the restaurant's website if possible. If that site redirects me to some big app's delivery service, then fine. Although of course sometimes that entire website might not be from the restaurant but from the app's company. I have no easy way to fight that, I'm afraid. If that happens to a restaurant, they need to take better ownership of their brand.
