[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think that restaurants should make doordash cheaper or on par with in person dining as it's saves money. I would rather eat at home than sit through the dining process at some restaurant with bad service and having to over tip[/quote]

The point is that the value propositions for DoorDash and dining in are different. When you order restaurant food via DoorDash, you are paying restaurant prices that have the cost of a retail location, a dining room, a host and servers and bussers, nice lighting, bathrooms and staff who cleans them, etc. All of that is baked into the cost of your plate of pasta from the nice Italian restaurant even if you order it via DoorDash.

If we separated these activities out, DoorDash would be priced according to what made sense for the cost of ingredients, staffing the commercial kitchen, and the costs of delivery. I assume there would be some built in cost savings. However if you want the EXACT same meal from a nice restaurant, then you will always have to pay a premium because that meal was developed and designed to be served in a nice restaurant with all the extras.

The cost of Chipotle delivery could probably be brought down via a deliver-focused kitchen like this, though.[/quote]
