      Not even close to the scale, speed and price of companies like Uber Eats. These service are unprofitable and by their own admission they will likely remain unprofitable

        I’ll give you scale, but would definitely argue speed and price.

        At least in Italy the pizza delivery that already existed for decades before Uber eats was both cheaper and faster. You needed to call a specific phone number for each store instead of opening the app
