Can't get my head around this thread. If I want a meal from any of about 15 restaurants in and around the Alsancak, Karaoglanoglu, Zeytinlink area, then I just call them. That's more than enough choice/selection for me. Chinese, Indian, Turkish kepabs and wraps etc. Pay at the door.
I think it’s the way food delivery businesses are going. I guess it is similar to outsourcing. Rather than pay a delivery person, they subscribe to the agent (ubereats, talibat, Yemek sepeti) and they do the delivering for a small charge. It must be more cost effective as most takeaways where I live no longer have their own delivery person anymore.
Furthermore, they also deliver groceries, which would be very handy if you were stuck in you house due to isolating for COVID-19 or any other reason. Also, it is all linked to my bank account so I do not have to deal with cash. It is all automated, including the tip, so long as it doesn’t take 1 hour and 45 minutes to arrive.
