Managing an enterprise doing it at scale requires a larger-than-small percentage of revenue. Catch 22.

Also note that plenty of delivery workers have, historically, been paid under-the-table. Can't get away with that if you're uber

And deliveries were historically mostly for a small class of food items where it made sense--mostly pizza and Chinese--for various reasons.
I definitely don't understand the demand for soggy fries and burgers at 60% upcharge, but to each their own ;)
I have a free subscription through one of my credit cards to one of these delivery services--which I've never used. I noticed they have a Five Guys listed. But they're 20 minutes away. Whenever I've entertained the thought I've told myself to just pick up a pound of burger meat and grill it because I'd hate the result of the delivery.
