Or option 5) restaurants pay for their own delivery people which seemed to work just fine (pizza places have been doing it forever (I’m assuming profitably))

- cupcakecommons 3y agoThe key here is that it's worked for restaurants with historically decent margins (pizza) it likely won't work for most restaurants
- NovemberWhiskey 3y agoIn cities like NYC, it worked for vast numbers of restaurants. Anyone who lived in the city before Seamless etc. remembers having masses of restaurant menus with phone numbers for ordering - some were for pick-up only, but most would do local delivery.
- cupcakecommons 3y agoNYC is also extremely abnormal because of the density
- paxys 3y agoAlso the economics of NYC are very different today then in the 80s and 90s when people remember getting cheap delivery.
- elevatedastalt 3y agoPizza delivery drivers drove their own cars (and paid for maintenance and everything) and replied heavily on tips. So basically the same situation as now, but unlike earlier, it's apparently no longer acceptable.
- drewcoo 3y agoThis. They were basically Uber attached to a single pizza restaurant. A great investment for a manager. Not so good long-term for the employees. Good thing there's a lot of turnover!
