Yeah, the only place near us that does their own deliveries is a really popular pizza chain.&#160; Everyone else is on an app that organises deliveries for them.&#160; Which means that deliveries take an age and regularly go via multiple locations on the way.]]></description>

I think the self-inflicted killing of DoorDash (and GrubHub) is well underway. Locally there seem to be a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies to the space that are bending over to be more attractive to businesses. I&#039;d expect, though, any of them that are national are probably already active in SF so I won&#039;t name them.

Additionally I&#039;ve noticed for takeout (but not delivery) Square has started offering online ordering, which already seems to be the favorite of any business using that for POS. Doesn&#039;t help with delivery, of course.]]></description>

I just did a quick look around at some restaurant suppliers and came up with over $5/pizza in just ingredients for a cheese pizza. Then add all the costs to keep a commercial kitchen open, pay the staff, etc. Then look at what you have to pay someone to drive it around. With gas, etc it&#039;s going to eat most of your margin, especially on a slow night where that delivery guy is sitting still for long stretches. ]]></description>
