Nobody showed them more love than I did. Just because it felt like such a fun way to get food while still supporting the gig-workers. Until, I started noticing the huge markup on sides/entrees that I recall costing way less on the restaurant menu.
Did prices go up? Nope, it was doordash.
A side of garlic sauteed edamame is $4.75 on the restaurant menu, but $7.85 on the delivery app. $7.85 isn’t too much for a good tasting side, but I am not a fan of being lied to about pricing. Felt like getting ripped off.
It obliterates my trust in today’s delivery apps and damages the value proposition.
One wonders: How much of the revenue is coming from markup in menu prices? What happens to this revenue when the average consumer grows wise to these markups?
