      I still don’t understand how paying a third party the delivery fee plus their management costs and profit margin is cheaper than hiring a teenager. It sucks though :/

      Like you said, worse every person involved except for the door dash executives

        Because a lot of places probably don’t do enough delivery volume to justify staffing a driver every night, and the apps themselves are pretty powerful marketing tools.

        Because the food delivery apps pay their drivers that little.
