I mean in fairness before these services most restaurants did not have delivery options at all, so I don’t think this is that surprising? It was not long ago that your delivery options in many places were just pizza or Chinese.

Little Ceasers offers delivery and sends it through doordash here. Curious if that is because they don't want to deal with it or it is somehow cheaper on their end.

Little Ceasers didn't offer delivery before these apps either though.

Yeah but that's the problem. They're essentially outsourcing something they couldn't afford in the first place so DD becomes the bad guy for not paying their employees instead. Then the customer bitches at the driver's because the drivers don't want shitty pay for their work. Stop using DD.
