I wish I were in your market then. Where my restaurant is, most of the places on Doordash and other DSPs are cheaper or the same as in-restaurant prices (usually thanks to coupons or other “temporary” discounts). These platforms have huge amounts of venture capital and generally operate at a loss

As a pizza place, it makes it incredibly difficult to compete. Doordash and Uber Eats heavily subsidize the actual operating cost of their platforms, making it a generally cheaper option

Doesn’t help that they don’t have to follow the same regulations we would for traditional delivery drivers. I have to have insurance for drivers. Delivery platforms do not, in my state. If my driver gets injured in an accident, I’m liable. If a Doordash driver gets in an accident, Doordash just wipes their hands of the situation

For those reasons, I had to go with a DSP (Toast delivery) instead

I’m lucky the restaurant is just a side project and I still have my day job. Only reason we haven’t gotten squeezed out yet
