Hey
Obviously, the food delivery service is quite a competitive market and those major players are throwing tons of money to get more customers using their apps.
There are all kinds of promotions from different companies. cashback, discount, free delivery couple etc.
And I get that one of the reasons us using it was about convenience.
But the item price on these platforms is clearly much higher than the regular price not to mention the extra service fee and delivery fee.
My personal experience was that it averages 20% ~ 30% higher than ordering by phone.
Sometimes the promotions only offset the extra charge on orders.
So the question is what are your thoughts on this?
Would you prefer the current fee structure on these platforms?
Or would you wish regular price + a higher delivery fee?
For me, I would much rather go for restaurants with free delivery over $xx via phone.
Regard
Used to be OK to pay 10% higher, but now you’re paying 20-30% higher - no thanks
