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.
