I agree with this. It's seems to me that it's much more than "hiring a few developers to build a basic app." There's the cost of delivery personnel, and having enough delivery windows to be practical for customers. It seems to me there are benefits from scale, and a large, aggregated platform that make delivery feasible for many restaurants.

Yeah definitely. I see tremendous value for such middle man services. I think all the hate is pretty irrational.

This is the optimal way.
