I’m my area the Uber eats prices are higher than if you order in person. An order at my fave dumpling place is 11$ pick up and listed at 14$ on Uber. Add service fee and tip it’s +20$. Paying almost 10$ extra for a meal to take 45 minutes to get to my house cold is not a good deal.

Why would it be a “deal”. It is a luxury service for those who can afford it. Mostly paying for someone else’s labor which isn’t cheap.

Given how delivery drivers are paid I think it’s safe to say most of the cost is not going toward paying for labor.

It’s not really luxury though - the orders are often wrong, the food is cold, and it is one of the slowest ways of getting food to eat.
