Delivery Apps Are Destroying Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"A barbecue joint launched by the chef and his wife during the pandemic that emphasizes hearty pit cooking (the bone-in beef rib is called out as a must-try). The operation deliberately refused to sign up with major third-party delivery apps, instead relying on customer-paid, no-commission delivery options like Getcho and Uber Package; this stance stems from a belief that high app commissions unfairly erode restaurant margins and undermine the industry. The tone is defiant and community-minded, urging fellow restaurateurs to consider shunning commission-taking platforms to protect their businesses and preserve closer connections with customers." - Phillip Foss
