I'm failing to see how these platforms were innovators. There have been countless multi-restaurant delivery services going back to the initial Internet startup boom in the late 90s. With a few exceptions in large metropolitan areas they have all failed. Even with a much higher level of investment, willingness to play dirtier than previous attempts and a huge increase in demand because of the pandemic there doesn't seem to be money to be made here.
