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.
