THE ISSUE
Online food delivery is a tough business, and it’s hurting the restaurants we love. We believe there’s a better way forward, and it begins with looking at how we order food.
What Food Delivery Apps Don’t Want You To Know
• They take a huge bite out of restaurants’ profits for each order they deliver. Restaurants make an average of 4-8% in profit, and after paying exorbitant commission rates and fees to a third-party delivery app—up to 30 percent!—they often lose money.
• The money that third-party delivery funnels away from local economies benefits national corporations and their stockholders, and no one else. Why do we trust billion-dollar tech companies with the survival of our local businesses?
• They don’t pay living wages to their drivers. Delivery drivers for the big three delivery platforms make an average of only $4-8/hr, and despite skimping on labor costs and milking restaurants dry, these companies still fail to make a profit, year after year.
• They collect and abuse your customer data to set up “ghost kitchens,” fake restaurants created by outside marketing departments that pretend to be local so they can siphon even more money away from small businesses.
110,000 independent restaurants closed in 2020 alone. We must make a change to save our local restaurant communities.
