Thinking of trying this out. I am seeing GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats. Where to go?

    In general ordering direct and doing pickup is WAY cheaper than any of the delivery options.

      Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s within a dollar of the same cost as ordering in person. And it saves having to wait in line, tell them your order, and wait for them to make it.

        Not factoring in the monthly fee? Cost per Oder ? Tip?

        Most restaurants you call ahead and just pickup your order when it is ready. Gas food places almost all have online order apps to do the same.

        It is convenient but if you are using these services multiple times a month you are spending WAY more on dining out

          There’s no monthly fee to use Uber eats and I’d be tipping the same amount either way. The cost per order isn’t very high if you’re using the pickup option.
