Are these services really needed in SF? I live in a smaller city than SF and have plenty of restaurants that either I live close enough to where I can pick up my food without a problem or handle their own delivery with an advertised flat fee and sometimes a minimum. I can't imagine it being much different in SF.
I got a doordash gift card for Christmas, so I had to try it out. The whole pricing scheme seemed silly and the price was considerably cheaper ordering direct from the restaurant. I mean it sucks, yeah, but this is probably an easy service to skip on.
I live in an area of Bayview where the only restaurants open after 5pm are a 30m walk across a risky pedestrian intersection. There’s something to be said for the cost of rent vs these other addon expenses with living in such an area I’m sure. We try to cook at home a lot. But, the only grocery stores are the outlet bargain mart or getting on the highway.
