What frustrates me with restaurants (especially the small business mom and pop ones) is that they are not adapting to this situation. When I go to their websites (sometimes they don't even have one), I want to see two things:

* A way to order and pay online.

* Details on their contactless pickup procedure if I drive there. I want them to bring it to my car, then I can unlock my trunk, and they can place it inside and close it.

If they did this, my use of these food delivery apps would drop to almost zero. I don't mind driving to pickup my food, it's even good for my car which has been sitting idle for weeks. But I want it to be contactless pickup. If bringing it to my car is too hard, I might even be ok with waiting outside their restaurant, text them, and they bring it out and place it on a table.

But these restaurants have no plan, put no effort into adapting, then complain about high fees for food delivery apps. I don't like these expensive apps either, please provide an alternative!
