My company uses GrubHub. We get a fixed allocation each day to order lunch.
I pay for the grubhub+ and I often order from places close by that I can walk to and pickup. This saves on the extra tip for delivery and it also gives me some exercise.
But what I have noticed is that the prices are $3-$4 more per item on the grubhub menu for a restaurant than the prices shown on the menu at the restaurant.
It seems like restaurants are jacking up prices to pass on the grubhub fees to the customer.

This is exactly what they're doing. Restaurant margins are rather thin and most places can't absorb the fees Grubhub, Doordash, etc. charge. If they charge $7.50 for cheeseburger and fries,, which covers their cost and a reasonable profit; they can't pay $1 (or whatever) more when it's via a food delivery service. Grubhub (and the rest) charge the restaurant for hosting them and the customer for delivery -- they charge everyone.

- tmaly 2y agomaybe at some point we get some type of open source system that leaves only the credit card fees for the restaurants to deal with.
