Newfoundland where restaurants want to charge a 7 dollar delivery fee for a 5 minute drive.

They do that elsewhere as well.
The problem is that apps like Doordash also increase the price of each item individually. So if you order from the restaurant itself, the sandwich might be $10 and fries might be $3. But if you order from Doordash, the sandwich will be $12 and the fries will be $4, then they have delivery fees, AND have all of these other extra mystery fees and then paying the delivery driver on top of that.

Door Dash here has free deliver over 15 bucks at all places but one. The service fee isn’t mystery. It’s 2.5%.
Like I said above. Only one local near me have different prices on Door Dash and in store. FYI the restaurants/stores set those prices.

Our fees will change depending on the date and time of day.
And as I said, there are hidden fees too, not just service and delivery fees. Each menu item will have a hidden increased cost. I noticed this once when I compared the line items to a bill I had in the restaurant versus my Doordash bill. They increased the price of every single item on the menu and the app doesn’t tell you that they do this.
