I want food, I can't be bothered to cook or go out?

Are you seriously struggling to understand food delivery? Or if you mean what's the benefit over e.g. ordering direct from a restaurant, is you have a lot more choice and it's much higher quality than traditional take aways (you get proper restaurant food)

It arrives cold, no? Delivered restaurant food makes no sense to me. Won’t things get all mashed together? The plating will not be nice. And to pay for such a service? I don’t get it.

Thermal bags, transport-aware packing, and the service costs a couple of quid, not the ten dollars you suggest.

You're not going to get a gourmet steak hot from the grill with precisely placed edible flowers laid delicately in it. But a bag of fries and a carton of fried chicken does not require eggs-in-space-shuttle level cushioning

In the U.S. we typically feel compelled to tip. This might not be the case for you if you aren’t in the U.S. I looked into using Postmates to try it out and it came to around $10 to use if I didn’t tip generously.
