Cost structure has not changed in restaurants that do take outs.

Delivery services in the areas where they ( delivery services ) could be popular and are popular solve a non-existent problem for restaurants ( delivery ) by eating into restaurant's profit margins. Not only that, by longer-term delivery services are terrible for restaurants because suddenly every restaurant in 1-2 mile radius even in the most high density city becomes a competitor while the margin is lower.
