There are many restaurants that get way more business because of it. Any restaurant whose kitchen could scale to more than their in-person dining would allow for, would benefit from this.

I have no idea if it’s a NET benefit…but you don’t know if it’s a net cost either…but you asserted that it did nothing bad things to the industry. That’s just plainly untrue.

I get what you are saying in theory.....

In my area it did nothing to benefit, a number of friends own local restaurants, so not plainly untrue. My statement is true for my area. I can understand if its different in large Metro areas, but like I said, delivery is dead in my area. No side hustle delivery jobs here. No greater food choices for my community. That is def a net cost to my community as a whole.

You said it did nothing it hurt the industry. That IS, in fact, plainly untrue.

And it’s also untrue for your area. Your anecdotes aren’t enough to outweigh the widely understood benefits for some restaurants.

Also, I don’t understand what you mean by “delivery is dead” in your area. If it’s dead, then what’s the problem?
