[+] -24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (17 children)

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.
