I've never understood the value proposition here. Of course they have to charge 200% to deliver you a combo meal. Getting a taxi from the restaurant to your place would cost at least as much. Driver time, gas, insurance, vehicle depreciation, time spent getting to the restaurant... it's got to add up to several dollars at least even if they carried no food at all.

It should cost about the same to deliver $200 worth of filet mignon with truffles. Same amount, much smaller percentage. I'm surprised people ever order small amounts of food through those services.
