I wouldn't call using Ubereats and hiring cleaners to be increasing efficiency, but rather outsourcing your work.

Throwaway plates and forks are also terrible inefficient from an environmental point of view. Also, don't you find it less enjoyable to eat with plastic tableware? What I've found works best for me is to minimise the number of plates and forks you have in the house. If you only have one plate, you just wash it every time you use it, takes 30 seconds max. If you have a bunch of plates, then you always put off washing them, and then you have a whole stack.
