Have you seen the bills restaurants are getting from Grubhub and the numbers on the restaurant side?

The shadow restaurants opening up to serve these markets that massively lower the quality of the food in shared terrible kitchens (most not zoned for that and with little to no safety equipment) but using the restaurant name anyway?

It's the whole thing end-to-end that is unsustainable.
