It's a harder problem, though. I can order from practically any restaurant at any distance on ubereats.

It's trivial for me to concoct an order that will take ~1h to deliver. With a $15/h minimum wage, that means ubereats needs to charge $15 in fees before making any money just to cover labor.



I suspect this is the real answer.

It probably takes at least twice as long as an equivalent uber ride. The delivery person needs to find somewhere to park twice and spend time waiting in line.
