This really makes me happy but I hope you delete this before it becomes mainstream and DD catches on.

I hope it goes mainstream and they all go under because nobody wants to pay their crazy prices while not actually supporting a restaurant

I mean if anything their prices are crazy low. I can buy about 30 minutes of a real human's time to deliver me food for about $3. With pizza joints and Chinese takeout it's averaged into the prices but not with these delivery apps. I've seen a few inflated prices but almost every restaurant around here is just charging the same as they always have.

A delivery service that supported the restaurant would be way way more expensive.

I can’t where I live. My $20 takeout order is $40 from any app. Entrees are several dollars higher, then there’s a delivery fee then a service fee then the tip for the driver.

ignoring the fact that this post itself is top of HN and going viral?

I don't really think going viral on HN === mainstream ;)

DoorDash engineers are on here too. Unless they want to keep quiet about it ;)
