(They don’t)
^^^they don't make money
they also rape restaurants, charging commissions of 20-30%
get takeout kiddies, fuck delivery apps
Discount = customer acquisition costs + trying to crush other platforms
And then they will raise the prices when they can (e.g. Uber finally raising ride prices)
This is a stupid business model. Market monopolies drive challengers. There is zero end to that reality so the world of shit business practices and endless discounts will continue.
