Why? I find the service useful. It's basically generalized delivery service. Restaurants who don't want to manage delivery drivers can outsource it to postmates. For example I used it to get diet food deliveries from a local 'fitness food' cafe 30m away. It saved me an hour of time. And this place didn't do deliveries. |

I don't see that as a viable option for most restaurants, unless postmastes can absolutely guarantee that a courier will be out delivering their orders within 10 minutes of them being completed by the kitchen and delivered within 30 minutes after pickup.
And at that point, if you're basically paying postmates to constantly have a courier on call for your restaurant, why wouldn't you just hire a driver? They mostly make minimum wage and live off of tips, and they pay for their own car, insurance, gas, etc.
I knew a delivery driver once, and he was not a happy man.
