I've never understood the food delivery services at all. Maybe it's a different experience in the Valley. I would gladly pay for delivery to try a new restaurant that's across town. But instead all the offerings that I can choose are within 4-5 miles of my house. I could literally walk to some restaurants much quicker than I could get a delivery. Locally its mostly college kids using the food delivery services.

I can provide a few use cases:

1. Too lazy to drive 2. Too drunk to drive 3. Too lazy to walk (see 1) 4. COVID or other potentially contagious illness 5. Delivery driver is cute and you are lonely 6. Live event, can't take a break to go get food 7. You may not own a car or bike. (see 3) 8. Agoraphobia
