Food delivery in its current form will be short-lived.

It is a 4 party system where the company controlling the money is the only one that wins.

Restaurants are asked to pay 30% of the ticket. The customer is asked to pay more than expected for their meal, a delivery fee, and a tip. For the customer, this can be nearly double for a simple $10 lunch.

The driver that has to deliver it gets stuck with fuel, automatic, and typically much less than $15 an hour. All of this is happening while Doordash has a 10billion dollar valuation.
