I agree 100%. I don't think I'd ever order so much from random local restaurants if they weren't easily available in the doordash/ubereats apps in a standard format at the click of a button. No way would I google, search and decide a menu, then call up, I'd just eat from my local subway every time.

I've started using Deliveroo a bit during the lockdown here in France. But frankly... it's just faster to go downstairs. There are superb restaurants all over the place within literal (!) spitting distance of my door/windows. Snack food, too.

I know it's not a short term solution, but the US seems to have painted itself into a bit of a corner by separating commercial and residential areas so much...?

The US isn’t that bad, at least where I’ve lived in coastal cities. Reading someone choose subway of all places over a few minutes of using the internet is a first for me.
