Maryland restaurant owner: 'Delete all the delivery apps'

Well?

Did this guy always have delivery from his restaurants? If he did why would people have already been using an app?

So we should delete the apps for delivery created by people with vision and foresight to help him out if he never bothered to handle the deliveries before hand?

Fuck that

I would always order directly from the restaurant if they had a website with an ordering function. I hate GrubHub. They treat their drivers like shit and steal money from both the restaurant and driver. I also hate hate hate Uber.

These tech companies are evil.

Cut them out.

I have a regular driver that I use to cut out Uber. It’s better for both of us. He is a pro.

R4, you mean you have an Uber driver you contact directly? Or...?

I don't have a problem with it as long as the service is comparable. But the whole point of using those services is so a restaurant doesn't have to hire additional people to do the delivery. In these strange times it might make sense since a lot of his staff is underemployed, but once things are back to normal (if ever), he's gonna want to go back to GrubHub or whatever he uses.

R5. Yes but make sure you snag a good one. He is a diamond in the rough.

But it’s so much cheaper and there’s no icky feeling from giving Uber all your data and letting them track you like livestock.

Uber and Lyft have so many nasty cars. I stopped using them because the cars were just gross. This was before the pandemic.

I started to rent cars more often but the rental cars are filthy a lot of times also. They don’t clean them in between users like they used too. Disgusting.

So I should give someone else my credit card information?

I have the delivery apps, but already order directly if they have a website and online ordering - I'll even call occasionally.

Yes! Fuck those delivery apps including Amazon and go directly to the source. Businesses have their own websites and can deliver directly to the customer. That's what I've been doing for the last 3 years since I deleted my Amazon account and it has been great.

R9, credit cards don’t hold customers responsible for fraud so even if he used your number to book a trip to Tahiti, it isn’t your concern.

by The time you order something in any of theses apps, after all the fees and tax and tip, it’s always like $30. No matter what you order.

I agree with her.

Find one that uses PayPal or Venmo or something that doesn't share the information with the restaurant.

PalPal is Silicon Valley predatory trash. Venmo too.

Garbage companies. Cut out these billionair venture capitalist and support local.
