Honestly, food delivery from restaurants is one of these things that is a big economic mismatch. The restaurant is spending tons of money on their nice dining room and part of the price of the food is supposed to be the experience of eating there. Yet, when you are ordering delivery, you are getting a subpar dining experience, plus you have to cover the additional cost of transporting the food. This means that someone is getting squeezed --- the restaurant is not getting paid enough, the delivery person is getting paid peanuts, or the buyer is having to pay a ludicrous price for the food.
- jowea 1y agoThe dining experience depends on your feelings and home, and you have to pay for transportation for the entire party to the restaurant.
- npinsker 1y agoThat really depends on the place and the person. I don't get much value from eating inside a Chipotle or a pizza parlor.
- Dylan16807 1y agoIf half the business is delivery, then the dining room can be half the size and there can be fewer servers. That saves a good fraction of the cost. Apply those savings to a delivery driver, add a $5 delivery fee, and the math can work out fine.
