        Your food could still be cheap if the people profiting off of it made less profit.

        They’d still be richer than you, though.

              Not even close to the scale, speed and price of companies like Uber Eats. These service are unprofitable and by their own admission they will likely remain unprofitable

                At least in Italy the pizza delivery that already existed for decades before Uber eats was both cheaper and faster. You needed to call a specific phone number for each store instead of opening the app

            Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.

            A service isn’t ‘unprofitable’ if people are making 6 and 7 figure salaries off of them.
