"The restaurants in particular are restive, not least because food is already a low-margin business."

Coupled with the recent survey from US Foods that 28 percent of food couriers admit to eating food from their deliveries(1) are some of the reasons for the consolidation in the food delivery industry.

If that's how the survey was worded, it's not super useful. At least with Ubereats, its supposedly not rare for someone to order and then pass out drunk/stoned/unable to go pick up food from driver. In those cases, Uber tells the drivers to do whatever they want with the food.
Dear delivery drivers: have a chip - I don't mind.
I do.

Cars (or worse... bikes/mopeds) don't have hand wash sinks.

yeah, best way to get epidemics, good idea.
