Buy Local - Maybe Order Direct and Pick up? Skip uber, doordash et al?
Just an idea. If there is already a thread, kindly merge.
But maybe restaurants have been hurt enough. Why not buy closer and pick up and phone direct so more money stays with the restaurant versus being siphoned off? Or order from places that have their own delivery staff?
Maybe some restaurants need to pool together geographically to share delivery staff costs?
I called a place and made sure to confirm they did not pay commissions using even their on line order system for pick up. They said they did. I decided to go old school and use the phone and speak to a human.
Just some small steps I know.
