Pick up. Probably less than 5% of restaurants do delivery. If you count chains as one restaurant, then probably less than 1% of restaurants do delivery.
Most Grubhub and Doordash restaurants don't do delivery.
When I say "they don't do delivery", I mean the restaurant doesn't do delivery. DD or GH provide the service to you. But if you call the restaurant directly, they'll tell you they don't do it on their own.
Which was the context of this conversation ("Why don't people directly call the restaurants instead of using GH?").
I try not to use those services too often. I don't agree with their dishonest pricing and predatory business practices. As another commenter mentioned, those restaurants don't do delivery -- your postmate or whatever is working for postmates, not the restaurant.
I've been doing a lot of takeout as most days its my only trip out of the house
My whole point is not everything needs an app. Phoning in to-go orders is one of those things that I would rather interact with a human with. There are too many ways automated ordering goes wrong and exactly 0 ways to fix it.
Same thing pizza places have done before apps: call back the number to remind them, and if they still don’t come, just eat the cost (and possible the food too).
I am confused as to how they are getting the money from you.
