Silly money, behaving stupidly.

I feel for the restaurant owners: not only were they forced into accepting the likes of Grubhub as a middle man, that same middleman now also owns restaurants that compete directly with them. If the restaurants have any power at all they should stop using Grubhub right now. I don’t know anyone still using it (which is crazy, Seamless used to dominate NYC).

I sincerely hope the entire thing burns to the ground. The last thing I need in my life is for all the restaurants in my neighbourhood to be soulless, VC operated chains.

Delivery should be done as a coop between local businesses. Always should have been that way.

Restaurant business is so risky anyhow, managing a co-op too sounds like a big extra load to take on.
