These food delivery companies are unnecessary middlemen, and generally leeches. Their revenue (note: not income, as they still lose money) comes at expense of restaurants. The economics simply do not work. Please stop using these apps and deal with the restaurants directly.

But the restaurants don’t do delivery.

If they did, then I wouldn’t need to use DoorDash or GrubHub, or whatever.

And the apps that offer deliver do so at a loss. The economics do not work so long as people need to get paid. You do not _need_ to use delivery services to pick up fro trendy restaurants that represent a bad equilibrium to all parties asides from yourself. This was a market inefficiency enabled by cheap capital.
