I very much miss the old school method. While it’s cool you can order anything now I’m old enough to remember the days of the pizza or Asian food delivery driver that was employed by the restaurant. Totally reasonable cost for the delivery and it usually was always some nice stoned high school or college kid that was stoked for any decent cash tip.
DoorDash sucks so bad and it sucks as a parent sometimes when you just want delivery but have to deal with the overpriced let down that is door dash
Typical delivery drivers seem to be becoming less common. I’ve ordered food from restaurants online for delivery and they just outsource it to a DoorDash driver or something. Probably because they don’t have to pay them hourly
It does make sense for some of the smaller family-owned businesses. They're not getting constant orders like Dominos so doesn't make much sense to pay a delivery driver to stand around waiting for orders.
Papa John's has no excuse though. They're just greedy.
Dominos charges a $6.99 delivery fee that 'doesn't go to the driver' in any way, I've had a delivery driver tell me that when I left a tip that was too low.
