I used to order meals sometimes through these kinds of delivery services but not anymore.
At first they were quite good but then they added extra "service fees" and the markup on the food increased, so did the delivery charge, it's a joke now and I haven't used them for a long time, and there's no good reason to, now.
Even when I do tip, and tip well, they now add so many other stops in between my food and my house that it still arrives cold anyway. I've largely stopped using them now too. They were convenient during peak pandemic and our newborn phase at home, but running out to grab take out really isn't the end of the world again now.
I only use them when I'm too swamped to go grab something or cook.
But one again learned to order at least 90 minutes out from when I expect to eat
