I'm old but spent my 20's and the beginning of my 30's doing lots of drugs and playing in bands while working retail jobs. Most of my friends are great friends, but objectively doing bad at life. Like renting a single room or still living at home at 40 bad. Like spending all their money on games consoles and weed at 40 bad. When we hang out they are extremely shocked that I won't use these services. They are like 'yo yo it is wicked sick because I can get a new user discount for $10 off if I sign up as you and you don't even have to call the restaurant'. I refuse. I call the restaurant. I know the owner. I pay the going rate. The discount never materialises and the times they have ordered without me they eventually give up looking for endless discount codes and ways to 'game' the app and just order at the ridiculous price. But you don't have to talk to the restaurant. Yeah great I like talking to the restaurant I'm not always stoned and socially awkward. These apps are created by parasitical tech companies flush with investor cash looking for the nExT aMaZoN. They run at a loss to get users acclimated to the service then they bring in the price model when they need to show profitability. They are a burden on restaurants and users alike, fuck them. There is a reason why I own a house, a car, have a family and a good job now, in part it is because I realised that by rewarding myself with a bong, some cheap wine and some wholesale supplied generic breaded chicken pieces deep fried by a child on slave wages alongside a coleslaw that came from a bucket and some fries with industrial cheese was basically just destroying me mentally and physically.

Just to add to that - there are some businesses that spend years running a loss before they can move into profit making phase; Amazon being a classic example. But in those cases the reason the reason for the early losses is that the company is heavily investing in various infrastructure they need, like Amazon building out warehouses & data centers. Doordash doesn't have that sort of infrastructure spending going on. The amount it costs them to hire delivery people is probably just fundamentally more than they will be able to collect delivery fees.

I remember when the first wheels of this stuff were turning here. It was Deliveroo followed by Ubereats. Same shit really. Self employed delivery agents brought onboard by an app and plugged into a network to facilitate orders and deliveries between customers and restaurants. The blurb was like ... do it for some pocket money, do it to get exercise on a bike, do it to get out and about and meet people and see the city. It wasn't really supposed to be a proper job for proper adults. Now if you park at Mcdonalds the carpark is completely filled with shitty cars and asian dudes collecting orders, it is clearly popular and that is what it looks like, beat up cars up to 25 years old sat with the engines idling and ethic guys hanging round carparks. The price of fuel here just went up a lot so we'll see how resilient the model is from the delivery end and we've extremely high inflation and increases to the cost of energy and food so take away food will go up in price and peoples disposable incomes are dropping like a rock. The people who rely on takeaway food and spend the most money are generally thick and poor and living month to month already so I'm anticipating them to be extremely impacted by the rise in energy prices. Like mine have just gone from £80 a month to £210. Energy is now over 7% of my total salary. Some people I work with talk about how after bills they have about £15 a week to live on so I don't know what the fuck they are going to do, get second jobs?

Do you have any idea how much capital is POURING out of China right now? Chinese kids can buy $20 cups of tea for the next eighty five years without blinking because they're backed by an absurd amount of of their parents' money.

I live in Toronto, I'm an expert on Chinese capital

I don't understand this whatsoever.
In Germany when you order a pizza or whatever online you pay for the food + 2-3€ for the delivery and often the delivery fee is removed once you pass 15-20€ or so. It's common to tip the driver if they bring the food quick and hot, but you're not forced to tip (that's ridiculous).
There are the value added tax and (ostensibly) fees for the use of the online service but they're already included in the price of the meal which is a completely normal price you would pay in any fast food or regular restaurant - a typical pizza costs about 7€ and there's always offers for 'date' and family meals which cost 20-30€ including appetizers and soda.

Yet, the service providers still turn a great profit, even though businesses are taxed way harsher than in the US, and are expanding all the timne.
Therefore, all these fees and expenses are clearly complete and other made-up bullshit. My suspicion: In Germany (and most civilized countries) there are regulations stating that service providers are not allowed to charge fees that aren't connected to any real, tangible expenses in their business operations. Passing such laws would not bankrupt the companies nor hinder their growth and everybody, including the customers, can be happy. The notion that all economic activity is a duality of unhinged exploitation on the one and stalinist state planning on the other hand, is one of the stupidest aspects of American politics.

Literally buying time, paying $22.93 to get an extra hour of your life to spend. Worth it if you make more than $22.93 per hour.

Honestly the restaurant and grocery store model is wasteful as hell. You don't wanna eat bugs? Better get ready for your nationalized DoorDash to distribute food more efficiently you shit. We already deliver mail and pick up garbage at every address, don't see why we can't do that with food too.

It is not. Even during the Pandemic, Doordash has been hemmoraging money and hasn’t been able to turn a profit. Apps do this all the time. They spread out as far as they can as fast as they can to kill competitors and defeat the competition so their app is the only game in town and they can set the price where they want.

But even with a captive audience, there are too many established food services and so none of them won. Instead, they increase the prices because they still owe their investors a TON of money.

i will say that i think that driving should be more of a privilege than a right, hence my point about retards on the road. hell, my driving test only consisted of parking going forward, parking going backwards, and doing a 3-point turn. also the fact that getting your license essentially signs away your 4th amendment rights, but i digress. how is the biking and walkability situation over there?
