I'm experiencing this first-hand with my restaurant. In-house delivery drivers cannot compete with Uber Eats/Doordash/etc. because they don't need to make money or even break even, don't have to pay for insurance, and don't have to deal with liability

One difference, though, is there is going to be a lot of experienced drivers in the workforce when Uber Eats/Doordash/etc. try to jack up prices. I can relatively easily swap to in-house deliveries again, whereas taxis can't just start back up
