At first blush, this might seem like another silly roll-up. However, I believe in Marc Lore completely and it will be interesting to see what this becomes. This is bad news for DoorDash (imo).

I could see a world where Doordash, Toast, etc specialize in delivery from existing restaurants, while Wonder/GrubHub lean into an exclusive selection of food from ghost kitchens.

To be fair, DoorDash is bad news for DoorDash because a $8 meal costs $30.

I mean, they're all like that, adding on 40% to the actual meal total.

Y is the problem of Y. It's profiteering and exploitation.
