Sorry to be the one to tell you that, but food delivery is here to stay. It is convenient, and at the end of the day, convenience trumps everything. The lesser problems (food being cold, pricing, quality) are simply optimisations waiting to happen, and actually already happening.
What OP describes is an anomaly that should be easy to fix by any platform, and if they are smart, they will fix it - or decay slowly (at least I hope this is what will happen, and that they take Amazon & Google Search with them too).

Platforms want their oversized cuts, delivery is personal service so always have lower limit which is somewhat high. And restaurants themselves already have rather low margins. Quality is just natural progression. Good food survive and bad food keep being replaced with new restaurants. Just like traditional restaurant industry.
- throwaway290 4y ago> Convenience trumps everything Quality food and drink are extremely sensitive to timing, as in minutes matter, and if you are talking about a developed country keep in mind that consumers are sophisticated and getting more so by year, they are aware about it and pay attention to it and this will be reflected in the market. If convenience really trumped everything we would all be eating dry instant noodle out of the packaging. Delivery may remain a thing in the suburbs but it would always be a second rate option.
