Yup, that's how restaurants still make money, and let UberEats and the delivery person to take their share.
Simplified situations:
Price in-store is $:
material + work + markup/profit
Price for delivery directly from the store is $$:
material + work + markup/profit + delivery cost
Price to pickup when ordered off the cloud, eg. UberEats, is $$+:
material + work + markup/profit + UberEats/middle man's profit
Price for delivery off the cloud, eg. UberEats, is $$$:
material + work + markup/profit + UberEats/middle man's profit + delivery cost
Unsurprisingly, the more extras you put in your equation, the more your meal costs.
Hope that helps.
I think it's against the rules to have different prices, but Oporto must have a special arrangement. I doubt they are just dealing with some random sales rep doing things by the book.
Every place I've looked at ordering from has a higher price than in store. That's why I order direct and pickup. In fact, many stores I've used offer a discount ordering direct with them.
Offering a discount doesn't break as many rules. If I were a restaurant I'd raise my prices 30%, offer a 20% discount for ordering direct from the restaurant, and I'd put a flyer in every Uber Eats order directing people to my own online ordering system with the big 20% discount.
If you get ubereats regularly this could be worthwhile but personally I think I'll just keep walking to Oporto paying the normal price and also earning credits on my flame rewards card.
No one ever got stabbed to death waiting at home for the Uber Eats delivery driver.
Must be a rough hood you live in.
Free delivery only applies to one order
Tried to order the same lunch the next day and it doesn’t allow it

As a newcomber to Ubereats etc, Is it just me or any of these delivery places have way higher menu pricing than buying in store, therefore negating any real 'free' delivery cost?
ie, 3 scoop sundae from Sprinkles is $10.50 in store, but ubereats menu price is $16.95 + $7.99 delivery fee.. so $24.94 for a 3 scoop sundae?
