Network effect. People want to order online, and they don’t want to have to create a new account to do so. Doordash already exists, so it’s easy to go to the app to find food, rather than looking up your favorite pizza place and signing up through whatever weird 3rd party payment system they use

You know, for 26 bucks a delivery, why the hell is their local competition?

I’m just thinking that eventually people won’t be able to afford double the price for DoorDash and they be willing to call the restaurant order the food with their own credit card and pay somebody $15 to pick it up instead of 30

Probably because the real trick is getting recognition. In the fog of a million voices on the internet all vying for your attention it is hard to make yourself a brand name. When people think of delivery now they automatically think of doordash.

I sure as fuck don’t think doordash for delivery.

But I don’t need millions of voices I just need local. I’m thinking I could get a couple of cardboard signs and say I will pick up the food you order and deliver it do you for 15 bucks.
