It is not free

I always get an email telling me that If I order $15.00 worth of food from a national restaurant, the delivery fee is free. Well here is how that works. You place your order through the delivery app. Then you see the total. The delivery fee is free but the restaurant puts on a handling fee that comes out to about $6.00 - $7.00 . So where is the free delivery? That is where they get you. Then you either get in your car and drive or you pay the fee. Most of the time you will pay because you already have the mindset of getting your food delivered

Thank you for sharing this information since I figured that has to be a catch with the free delivery part through the app.

My only experience with restaurant delivery was free delivery, an admin fee of $2.5, prices that were 20% more expensive for the online menu than in the restaurant and an automatic service fee of 10% added. And the food was cold when I got it. I avoid doing it now, it is not worth it.

I live close enough now to where I could drive to all the places I eat at

You're suprised? Really? That's basic marketing for you.

That sounds kind of like taking an unfair advantage. Anyway I am used to all the added fees, I order groceries once a month and they upped the delivery fee from 7 to 9 dollars but I make sure that whatever percentage they suggest to give to the delivery person as a tip I always customize and only offer $5.

$2.00 only seems like a small amount but when it is thousands of people, it adds up for their benefit
