I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them. (lemmy.world)

Not sure about other places but here when you order pizza, it is MUCH cheaper to call the restaurant directly and have them deliver it. It's usually faster too.

Same, local Chinese places near me still deliver as far as I know.

One chinese restaurant out here still does it I since they had a fleet of cars. But the local pizza joints and all the chains just contract through a delivery service app. It isn't usually doordash or ubereats, but the driver almost always is anyway.

So these days even the delivery apps are middlemen between the restaurant and the drivers. (They provide the menus and the transaction service and coordinate with all available driver delivery apps.)
