MODERATORS
That was mostly in the early days.
I remember hearing a podcast tell a story of a pizza shop owner, back then, who didn't even know he was on any delivery apps. But for the app to build a market in his area, they were offering food below cost and paying the restaurant the full amount, without even telling the restaurant.
Once he caught wind of this, the ended up processing a bunch of pickup and dine-in pizzas as if they were customers in the app, and pocketing the difference. Who could blame him?
