DoorDash and others have known about these for years. At this point there’s no way they aren’t complicit.
These ghost kitchens bloat up the list of restaurants for user choice probably making people think more food is available.
- theGeatZhopa 3y agoYes you're right here. It comes handy for DoorDash to have a blown up restaurant list. But only 'till a certain level. More than that might be the end of DoorDash. If found users think like "is this fake, again?" each time they're about to use it, and certainly stop to use it at all. The same for the paying customers. They may stop to use it because of the bad image or, just a concentrated action organized by the competition, can mean 'ima out'
- eszed 3y agoThey're more than complicit. Either DoorDash or UberEats (I can't remember which; maybe both do) tries to persuade restaurants to license their brand to ghost kitchens run by the delivery company. Source: Been on those calls.
