Deep dives
The Rising Cost of Food Delivery and the Potential for Drone and Robot Delivery
Food delivery fees have become increasingly expensive, with an average markup of 50% on delivery orders. This has led to a shift in consumer behavior, with more people opting to pick up their own food. The high fees can be attributed to inflation, increased costs for restaurants, and a fee grab by third-party delivery apps. However, the introduction of drone and robot delivery options is expected to bring down costs significantly in the future. Drones and robots have the potential to offer faster, more convenient, and cheaper delivery, with estimates suggesting that drone delivery could cost less than a dollar per order.
