Yeah a lot of restaurants do this, as a consumer you don’t get a deal the and restaurants scores kick backs from uber
Order Dan Dan Noodles from Gaga Noodle on Door Dash. They have buy one get one for about $18 and was actually decently portioned.
Always, even the one that doesnt have deals, the pricce is usually 30% to 50% up anyway.
This is common across all stores. Nothing is ‘free’.
Atmex are particularly egregarious with their ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ being price jacked to 2x a single normal price.
At this point it’s cheaper to fly to Vietnam, have pho all you want, and then fly back (so long as you take the bus, not the train, to the airport).
Well given Uber charge 30% that’s not really a surprise. It’s still a discount on the single uber price.
Uber pushes restaurants to do deals. Or they’ll shove you down the search results.
And the restaurants will either jacks their prices by 30-35% to cover the uber fees, or add dumb deals to get up the search ranks like doing 241 deals that are still the same price as buying 2 at the store.
Over and all delivery platforms are the problem. They’re predatory and do nothing in real terms for the restaurants at all.
The delivery platforms spiel is, tap in to new customers who don’t know who you are. And they all charge between 30-35% FROM the restraurants side for that exposure. THEN charge delivery fees and processing fees on top. They’re literally triple dipping on every order. Twice to the consumer and once to the restaurant.
Fuck them all. Make the effort and go to the stores
