The third party food delivery business model seems a little shaky to me. How do they become profitable without charging exorbitant fees?

For example, let's say I order $30 worth of Chinese food from a restaurant five miles from me. I go into my Grubhub app to have it delivered. Grubhub tacks on a 10% fee ($3) and I tip the driver who brings it to me $6 (20%).

My $30 order now cost me $39 and I might be okay with that as I never had to leave the house. But how is this worthwhile to Grubhub and the driver? That order likely took the driver 15 minutes to pick up and deliver for a $6 tip. Grubhub gets $3 in revenue, a portion of which goes to the driver.

I'm just not seeing anybody getting rich here.

Dread to think what Texas Chicken is in a foreign country.

Keith’s Texas BBQ in Dorchester, MA was bad enough…boiled meat on a hoagie bun.
