I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.
Then I found out my $9 order was $5 for a drink and $4 for door dash, who apparently runs the site? I don’t want to contribute to door dash becoming ticketmaster, but restaurants opt-in to that shit willingly.
Now I’m paying half price in person and wasting 5-10 minutes each time. Can’t win.
Yep, I started calling every restaurant to order years ago. Fuck having a bunch of unnecessary apps on my phone and fuck paying some unnecessary intermediary company a cut.
Yup I also ended up migrating to the restaurants/cafe’s own apps for pickup
I might have 47 food related apps on my phone now but beats a fuggin 30% charge to the restaurant

Not all restaurants’ sites are this way, so check on a per restaurant basis
Maybe just call them, like in the good old days?
