How can these prices be justified?

I came across this article while looking up the costs of some of the the third-party delivery services I.e. Postmates, UberEats, Caviar, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc. I knew their costs were high for both restaurants and customers but I was floored to see exactly HOW HIGH. I understand that everyone needs to make money but it shouldn't always come at the expense of small business owners. Independent restaurants are the backbone of many communities in that they provide countless jobs and also serves as meeting places, watering holes, and hangouts for their customers.

It is very hard to own a restaurant in today's business environment. Inflation is high. Costs are rising everyday. It's hard to find good employees. The budgets of your customers is getting squeezed in every direction as well. And all of this affects your already thin profit margins. This is why we feel ETab is the best online ordering platform for independent restaurants and regional chains. It's efficient, low to no costs, and it creates greater loyalty for your business.

We are fans of the hard-working business owners that have put their hearts and souls into building a successful restaurant. We don't feel it's right for anyone to be another burden on an already long list of existing burdens. We desire to have your carryout and delivery platform to be one less.
