This is a real problem that has existed for a long time, but has really only came to public attention because of the lockdowns. I wrote about it here: https://blog.routesimply.com/why-your-restaurant-should-brin...

My partner owns a pretty successful craft brewery in the bay area, and he's recently decided to get rid of doordash, grubhub and ubereats. What worked for him is using a network of ex-Uber drivers (there are tons of whatsapp and telegram groups where these guys hang out) together with an app (www.routesimply.com) that I built for him.

He takes orders directly on the phone, instagram and fb messengers and tacks on a delivery fee that the customer pays for and gives 100% to the driver.
