We had a variant of that for pizza in Sweden around 2000-2010: Free delivery from an online order and no tips expected.

Literally the same price for the pizza for in store take away or home delivery.

Always wondered if that was tax or immigration fraud (pay-to-work schemes). Or both.

Most pizza restaurants are built around the delivery cost-structure. They locate off main streets, they have a small front-of-house relative to kitchen size, and they have relatively low ingredients costs. They save money on both real estate and taxes, and use those savings to pay for drivers who deliver multiple orders per trip.

Other restaurants just aren’t optimized for the delivery business, so it’s more expensive per serving for the customer (no matter who is doing the delivery).
