I don't think you understand what the term "pedantry" means.

No, in those cases it’s a change in business model. The concept has existed for a long, long time - those restaurants simply opted to not provide it until they needed to in order to continue operating.

“Then there’s the argument that some restaurants are listed in these apps but haven’t signed up.”

Ah, I see you dismissed my responses to your moronic replies (in my own thread, no less). How mature.

Right, because everybody has the means, time, and availability to go pick up their orders. Absolutely nobody is housebound or has young children / infants / elderly family members who need constant care and monitoring and everyone has either their own car, money to spend on Uber or Lyft, or easy and safe access to…

Considering the fact that nowhere does this article mention any of these restaurants having their own delivery service / drivers and that the writer even goes as far as pointing out that “Many independent restaurants can’t shell out for their own delivery drivers or the legal hassle that comes with having them”, no -…

Then they can choose to not contract with the delivery apps if they are losing money on them and are still able to deliver themselves.

You seem to be missing the point.

Lol wut?

You are both missing my point and helping to make it (and yes, I know these delivery apps serve multiple restaurants).

“Got any better ideas?”

Then don’t use their services.

Glad to see the letter writers are still as stupid as ever.

Ruthless how / in what way?

You’re not helping yourself (or your argument) here. Not surprised at all that you'd just dig your hole even deeper, though. Nice job proving my point.

You are exactly the kind of person that would be (and I'm guessing actually is) the problem.
