This Food Delivery App Is The Most Expensive In Delaware
We all love convenience and everyone is pressed for time.
Its super easy to reach into our pocket, grab our phone, and and plug in an order and forget about our food until it hits our doorstep.
Its easy and painless!
The only problem is the delivery fee can skyrocket at certain times and the apps DO charge the restaurant for deliveries.
So when choosing convenience and delicious food you may want to consider certain delivery apps over others.
“According to an experiment conducted by The Washington Post, Grubhub is generally a bit pricier, with an order of $22 in food snowballing into a customer total of about $38. A little over $12 goes to the restaurant, about $9 goes to the app itself, and about $7 goes to the delivery driver” Mashable reports.
So what is the alternative?
Easy! Picking the food up at the restaurant yourself!
The New York Times says picking up your takeout yourself usually runs around $22, and the money goes right into the restaurants pocket.
You are also supporting small businesses in the process. The Times also says some apps charge as much as 91% more than you would pay ordering directly through the very same restaurants.
The delivery apps DID help small businesses survive during the pandemic and lockdowns. Some small businesses depended upon these third party apps to keep their business open.
So the argument for these apps can go either way. We all get busy, and we all love convenience, so popping open our phone and searching for the food we are in the mood for is easy.
On the other hand, supporting and keeping your favorite restaurants and small businesses open keeps the charm and family feel of your town alive.
Either way…eat local!
