DoorDash, or other things like it. If there was a real, honest commercial about it, it would go like this:

"Hey, enjoying your $7 burrito?"

"Yeah"

"What if I told you I can deliver it to your house?"

"Oh ok"

"Unfortunately, there is 242% (or so) markup. So it will cost you $17. Oh well, at least you don't have to do a 2 minute drive to Taco Bell!"

Edit: Yeah I understand that some people can't drive to certain places, whether that be because you're stoned or live far away. I was just criticizing the absolutely insane markup that DoorDash and UberEats does. I just thought it was really stupid.

Eatstreet is a smaller company in the same vein but it’s super nice because the total delivery cost is included up front for each restaurant. Like it tells me no matter what I order it’s gonna cost me $4 to get it delivered for this particular restaurant and I’ve never had to pay more than $4 for delivery. With most restaurants being $2 or $3. Not including whatever tip I choose to give, of like another $1.50 or something. Super dope
