Anecdotally, some factors I've heard that make YoY comparisons questionable:

1. With RTO, folks are more likely to eat out during the week (especially for places in SLU), so weekend demand is probably lower

2. With commutes, folks are more likely to pick up on their way home, so demand for delivery is probably lower

3. With the poor level of service, folks are more likely to pick up in order to ensure that their food is actually edible

King5's post itself notes another potential confounding variable: more drivers.
