Maybe ghost kitchens will fix the unit economics.

Kinda surprised this isn't higher up, I also assumed the path to a more sustainable model is to have a set of ghost kitchens making food of different types exclusively serving Deliveroo/Glovo/UberEats customers.

Most of the food I've gotten from ghost kitchens has been pretty okay, but it's still way too expensive, especially if you're a good tipper.
I'm a well paid software engineer, so I can afford to pay like $20 surcharge on laziness, but it doesn't really make sense.
The ghost kitchen burger isn't thaaaat much better than fast food and 2-3x the price. The ghost kitchen burrito is actually worse than the local Mexican street food, just will be delivered to me door.
