    Where I live it’s about £2 more on a order of any cost. That’s not even close to being double, especially with a minimum spend of £10

      Indian take out for my wife costs about $44.

      The same items ordered on the delivery apps comes out to about $56 and then after fees and tips is roughly $80.

      I wish these companies were only $2 more expensive than just going to the restaurant.

      Turns out some places are different. Weird, right?

      My experience using DoorDash and Uber eats is in the 2x range for costs. When I switch to pick up or order directly, it’s always about half the cost.

        This clearly differs wildly between countries. It’s just not this way at all on europe

      Yeah there’s comments are from the US it seems where there lack of regulations have resulted in an… advanced pricing structure. To put it mildly.

        I’m just glad I don’t have to live in that country, judging by the quantity of downvotes theyre very upset about this discrepancy

        Considering I used GBP and door dash is not used in the country which has GBP as it’s primarily currency. You can live safe that I’m not a current door dash employee looking to retain angry American customers
