This is the same model that Uber at large is following with the taxi service. The underlying premise is that if Uber can just get a monopoly they’ll finally stop losing a billion dollars every month.

I doubt that Uber will be allowed to monopolize this industry. And if they did, I doubt that customers would be willing to pay the premium.

I doubt the validity of the food delivery model anywhere but the most dense urban areas. And in those areas competition is fierce and regulators are quick to pounce.

Just because Amazon lost money for a decade doesn’t mean every single company will follow that same trajectory.
