Where I live it's about £2 more on a order of any cost. That's not even close to being double, especially with a minimum spend of £10
You should check the price of the food on the DD menu isn't also higher than the price on the regular menu. It may be a 2$ fee, but I've also seen higher per item prices.
Yeah, Uber eats is about 20% more expensive per item on the menu, though I am sure it varies.
The restaurant probably sets that price. Not only do delivery services ask for fees and tips from you, the customer, they will also take 20% of the restaurant's earnings for using their delivery services. Hence why some restaurants still choose to be on the app for visibility but have higher prices and/or separate delivery and pickup services that they set at normal prices and prefer the customer use instead.
Learned this when I was working for a delivery start up that operated locally and didn't charge such a fee.
Makes sense. I don't blame them. Uber is a leech. A super convenient leech.
Still not even close to double
Indian take out for my wife costs about $44.
The same items ordered on the delivery apps comes out to about $56 and then after fees and tips is roughly $80.
I wish these companies were only $2 more expensive than just going to the restaurant.
Holy shit America is so different
Well hooray for you? DD and GrubHub fees easily double anything I order.
Turns out some places are different. Weird, right?
Are you ordering directly from the restaurants?
No. Clearly deliveroo in UK is wildly different to American delivery services.
My experience using DoorDash and Uber eats is in the 2x range for costs. When I switch to pick up or order directly, it’s always about half the cost.
This clearly differs wildly between countries. It's just not this way at all on europe
Yeah there's comments are from the US it seems where there lack of regulations have resulted in an... advanced pricing structure. To put it mildly.
I'm just glad I don't have to live in that country, judging by the quantity of downvotes theyre very upset about this discrepancy
Thanks for the input, my trusted door dash corporate friend.
Considering I used GBP and door dash is not used in the country which has GBP as it's primarily currency. You can live safe that I'm not a current door dash employee looking to retain angry American customers
