This is untrue. A few months ago there was an article on the front page about a restaurant serving pizza that had been auto-listed by, IIRC, Deliveroo - which had put a menu online with marked-up prices and was allowing users to place orders.

The restaurant owner even discovered that, because of some inconsistency between his prices and the third-party ones, he could cause the delivering company to pay him by simply placing orders to himself.

I had visions of doing fancy CSS too, to render an accurate menu to your website viewers, but that would be deceptive to Uber's scrapers to mess with their menu.
