So do we need a new app?

[-] siftmama@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe. Unfortunately the few attempts I've heard of where the company tries to be fairer to all parties causes the company to go bust because it isn't sustainable. So the alternative isn't another app, it's to just not be lazy and go into the restaurant.

Yeah its called the restaurants website / phone number and delivery through that has existed since the freaking 80s. Some restaurants web ordering through their website is like 20 % - 30% cheaper in my experience.

I tried this for a while.... Then the restaurants I was getting from started sending orders with doorDash/uberEats drivers anyways..... And always were much slower and worse service than direct.

I no longer order delivery because they all ended up going that route.

Sorry to hear that. Seems short sighted on their end.

But that move isn't on the board for these delivery drivers.
