I admittedly tend to do business travel to cities but TBH, eating out at a nice restaurant is one of the perks of having to travel--not having a probably lousy pizza delivered to my hotel.

But then, I know a lot of people who do room service and I haven't in literally decades.

90% of the time, I agree with you. Expensing nice restaurants I want to try is one of the best perks of business travel.

The other 10% of the time, my flight got delayed and I arrived at my hotel at midnight. I want nothing more than to eat something quick and simple, and get to sleep. That's where room service or a food delivery app comes in, and at a lot of hotels the room service after midnight is a lot worse than a delivery app.
