The First Sale Doctrine [1] is what prohibits Apple or any manufacturer from preventing me selling my Mac on eBay.
It used to be that you could buy or sell airline tickets to people. There used to be ads in the newspaper classifieds. The airlines are very happy that that's not possible now.
Absolutely many companies in many industries would be happy to prevent people from doing X, both from a quality control and profit-maximizing perspective.
But if I buy a ticket from StubHub or a scalper on the street, the experience should be the same. Having a delivery company insert themselves into the process means they make accept orders where they don't have enough drivers, have to transport it too far from the restaurant to the customer (many/most restaurants have limits on delivery area for time/quality), etc.
So this seems completely different because the delivery companies are inserting themselves into the process as though they were endorsed by the restaurant.
