don't use food delivery apps anyways... you're paying 15-40% more, for colder food.. and sometimes less food then if you go get it yourself.
I swear in thankful I'm not in the restaurant industry anymore, because if I was and we had to process Uber chits... you bet believe those are the LAST orders I'm processing.
I'm a firm believer that if you take the tim of your busy day, to enter my establishment.. then I'm catering to you. if you can't be assed to get your own food, or come in to eat. I can't be assed to make somebody stand there watching me make food for people who aren't even in the building. pisses me off to no end standing there watching the poor food services folks making like 8 orders before even acknowledging me. not their fault, it's the shit delivery companies.
It blows my mind folks pay the upcharge for food that is going to be in worse condition. Dedicated delivery good like pizza or chinese is fine because its setup to get those orders out and going. Heck I have places were I have things I only order when eating in than taking out because some things are just best right away and others can sit for a bit and be the same. Heck though I have not even eaten out now given the economic death spiral we are in.
