Food delivery.
I never imagined a delivery service for restaurants with drive-thru would take off .
I kinda get it, if you want takeout food and you can't or won't drive it could be convenient. But it's just so expensive.
I realised that it was my bias as car owner.
A good lesson about how all can have blind spots.
I can make more money working during the delivery process than Id save by picking it up myself or taking time to cook.
This is interesting to me. Drive through isn't very popular in the UK, I think there's a few KFCs and maybe McDonald's/burger king.
But driving is such a pita I might as well cook or buy something from a supermarket if I'm going to do anything active.
Unless I'm on the way back home from a commute perhaps? I don't really understand the business model. Also, what's wrong with parking and walking in to get it? Leaving the engine running and crawling forwards to a window and then waiting anyway, I don't get it.
It's kinda good for people who don't have the time or the means to go pick up food, but don't mind paying almost twice as much for lukewarm soggy food
