None of them because I don't like taking money away from the restaurants.

it’s the cost of doing business just like square takes a % cut of all transactions for their pos. it’s undeniable that deliveries have kept these restaurants afloat.

haha just because these apps take a 15-20-30% doesn't mean the apps are taking money away from restaurants. mostly all restaurants in JC circumvented the cut by charging customers more per menu item than what'd you pay for walk-in/pick up menu prices.

i would think the apps help restaurants make more money in the long run because of the access to more markets the apps provide. they aren't relied upon locals to keep their doors open.

DD is the one with the best execution and restaurant selection, UE is the most affordable option if used with Promos (they waste a lot of money in customer acquisition) while GH is trash.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get grubhub (aka seamless) for free for a year. My favorite used to be delivery.com which had very few service fees unlike the others. These days I just go with the one that has an active promotion OR even better just call the restaurant and order direct.

Uber Eats is my favorite. Lots of options and consistent quality of drivers/timing. Support is extremely helpful.

DoorDash I've consistently had the worst experience with, in terms of timing. Usually late food with something missing from the order. Customer service is usually pretty helpful though.

Grubhub is typically good, plus get free delivery included in Lyft Pink. I will say the customer service experience with them is iffy at best. Getting in touch with support there is a nightmare, so better hope everything is right with your order.

If you can though, it's also always nice to order through the restaurant. Also usually cheaper.
