I'm in the same boat. I was even given a large gift card recently for SkiptheDishes (Canadian food delivery app) by co-workers so I'm forced to use it. I want to support local restaurants, but I'm starting to question whether my order is actually a lose for them.

I read this article and actually looked up my city councillor and emailed him. I asked if council had considered this and told him I would support this type of move.



No your order is not a loss. Just because Skipthedishes takes 30% does not mean you placing an order is losing the restaurant money.
