  There is one update the the article that seems noteworthy: >Note 1: We found out afterward that was all the result of a “demand test” by >Doordash. They have a test period where they scrape the restaurant’s website >and don’t charge any fees to anyone, so they can ideally go to the restaurant >with positive order data to then get the restaurant signed onto the platform. >If we had to pay a customer fee on the order, it would’ve further cut into our >arbitrage profits (though maybe we could’ve incorporated DashPass as part of >the calculation).
