Reminder of the risks of generalizing from one's personal experience, quite especially if one has an HN account. DoorDash revenues & delivery volume show that more people are placing orders, and for more money.

And this is for basic delivery, where many buyers will be a short drive away and could in theory have placed a 1985-style pickup order. There's no captive element like an App Store.

You have it wrong. In addition to the fees DoorDash charges you they also charge the restaurant ~20% revenue behind the scenes. Amazon charges ~8-45% (depends on the product) behind the scenes to the seller in addition to your prime membership.

The argument “would you pay some percent more” is somewhat meaningless because if Apple thought you would pay 40% more they would already be charging that and charging the publisher 30%. Two sided markets mannnn.
