Support your local restaurants. Don’t let these vampire platform companies enshitify your city’s food scene.

Which is an empty platitude if restaurants won't meet customers where they are - on their smartphones. I'll use my local restaurants' app/webpage when there is one and get pick-up, but if there isn't one, I'll be real - I just use Doordash. When I've got people over and need to order food, it'll take 45 mins between everything else going on to figure out a restaurant, and then another hour to pick some food. And then someone changes their mind while on the phone with the restaurant. Orrrr (after we pick a restaurant) we just pass the phone around.

We used to order lunch for an office of 15 people just fine over the phone. We had a drawer stuffed with local takeout menus. The hardest part was deciding where to order from but that's the same with Doordash.
