Depends how you look at it.

Here in China (major cities) delivery is often free and when buying from delivery apps there are additional discount available that you can't get when visiting the restaurant.

So basically it's often cheaper to get food delivered to your home than going to the restaurant itself.

If you had to guess how the economics of that work out, how do you think the delivery person is getting paid, and by whom?

I'd guess that the restaurant is paying for all of it, and it offsets having to pay more money for more physical dining space.
