That's fine, but you should be paying those hefty delivery fees and not the restaurant. And these fees will only go up now that venture capital is less likely to subsidize losses.

I am paying those fees, albeit indirectly: the money I pay for the food is also going to cover those fees. Just as if they have delivery drivers; I’m paying for their driver’s costs as well when I order delivery.
If the prices being charged don’t yet include those delivery fees, they will soon. It’s no different than how prices went up to cover credit card fees.

Do you accept Amazon or Newegg or <name favorite store>'s offers for free delivery?
For a point of comparison, of the places I use Door Dash for, none of them deliver food. And perhaps rightly so, since there’s a pretty hefty cost associated with hiring delivery drivers.
The delivery service is just worth that much to me.
