Arguably they make sense in terms of a wealth gap. There’s a fairly long history of such services operating at small scale for the 1% that can’s afford full time servants but can pay for 10% of one by using housecleaning services and someone pickup their food etc.
Where this falls down is trying to scale the business to less affluent people without some serious limitations. Pizza delivery places for example generally have a small delivery radius which makes a huge difference.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI don't know how DoorDash and other similar services work in the US, but Deliveroo in the UK is always local - bike riders rarely take any longer than 10-15min between the restaurants and my place. All restaurants I can order from are within walkable distance (30-45min tops on foot).
