You lose the ability to differentiate your product or offerings and become a commodity supplier to the actual distributor. If the customer comes to your restaurant or calls you to order tacos, it's because they want your tacos (or they read your Yelp reviews and thought you were worth taking a chance on). If they order tacos on UberEats, they just want tacos, and anyone's tacos will serve.

Yes, and also now you're dependent on the middle-man. And they will dictate your margin.
