Say what you like about DoorDash, but who wants to go back to the days before it?

Nowadays I can order straight from the app, simply pay for my pizza, the service fee, tax, delivery charge, and tip. Wait a little while and it comes straight to my door.

Sure, now it costs a little more, but that money is going straight to the guys that deliver my food. That's great for everyone.

Ha ha, sorry that isn’t the case. Door dash etc are actually killing some restaurants by impersonating them, forcing huge discounts on what they will pay, and of course notoriously stealing from their delivery people.

Me. Specifically, before they bought Caviar [1].

No fake restaurants. Dedicated delivery staff who were on time and friendly. Differentiated offerings from Seamless.

I've actually stopped using third party delivery services all together - the food is routinely cold, there are hidden fees everywhere, drivers are severely underpaid, many times you can't even order from the full menu.

Pizza and Chinese food delivery has been a thing long before doordash, and the quality of directly employed delivery seems to be much higher.

If a restaurant doesn't have delivery I'll just making a to-go order and go pick it up.
