So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.
Places that traditionally provided their own in-house delivery are mostly switching to 3rd party services. It’s cheaper for them. Pretty soon that’ll be the only delivery option anywhere.
Isn’t that because of customers choosing to rely on third party apps instead of taking advantage of local delivery? This seems like it requires a conscious resistance on our part. If everyone keeps doordashing everything, local restaurants have no choice but to get on board, fire their drivers, and let us pay more for app delivery via underpaid gig workers.
Yes. The “free market” has chosen 3rd party delivery.
