Food costs are up overall because (assuming USA) 1. COVID and immigration enforcement severe restricted immigration (legal or otherwise) of farm workers who formed the backbone of farm labor. 2. Oil and gas is critical import for food production. Fertilizer comes from natural gas, farms burn diesel, etc. All of this adds up.

Food delivery always was a luxury especially when it's just for one or two people. Unfortunately, you can't generate exponential growth on wealthy families ordering Friday evening takeout.
