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.
I am not sure, but I do think the app company doesn’t pay the whole $30 a regular customer would. It’s got to be harder with gas like it is now. I had one or two Uber driver tell me they hated Uber eats.
Grubhub (or, Doordash, etc.) is making their big money on the info they have, on you, gathered in their app.
There’s money to be made on your eating/shopping habits.
