Remember just calling the restaurant?
I remember. The pizza guys are super chill and it takes 10 seconds to place my order, no bullshit.
Still can here. We exclusively order from the restaurant, they use their own drivers.
We have a place like that in our city and it’s, hands down, the best pizza available in the area.
And talk to a real person? Gross.
the top 5 companies (Meituan, DoorDash, Uber, Prosus, Delivery Hero) have over 90% of the total gross transaction value (GTV) worldwide.
I will never understand how these companies stay in business. It’s not that the concept is bad. It fills a gap in the market, restaurants that don’t have their own delivery service. It’s just that everyone has the same complaints. Food takes forever, is no longer warm, and is expensive. Drivers aren’t exactly happy with the arrangement either. Seems like only the delivery company benefits.
´The Market´ already had its gap filled for food that´s actually well suited for delivery. The belief that every dish can be hauled in a backpack still taste like it´s supposed to is foolish
You’re preaching to the choir, mate.
That means they are only about to reach peak enshitification?
Dang, I though things were bad now.
