If you have to go into the street to pick up your order, I don't see the point in food delivery. You might as well walk to the restaurant at that point.

Do you like, live in a city or something? The closest restaurant to me is 7 miles and the closest one I will eat from, 11. I would gladly go to my driveway!

I don't use food delivery because there's nothing I would want that I could have delivered. But it takes me close to half an hour to drive out and pick something up. If I had good delivery options I would probably use them now and then.

(If I lived in a city though and had options within a 5 minute walk, I'd probably just pick up takeout myself.) Honestly, I usually have something in the freezer if I just want something quick but sometimes I don't feel like thinking about cooking even something simple.

You don’t even have to put on real shoes to go downstairs. You can put on slippers. Even in the most dense city, food delivery to the street level is more convenient than walking to the restaurant.

I know! It’s only 11 miles round trip, and everyone can use a bit of exercise.

(And indeed like sibling I picked 11 for the nearby good restaurants, to which I do bike but only outside of winter).

Yeah may as well walk 3 miles to the restaurant in 105 degree heat, sounds like a great time.

What if you can't walk? I'm disabled and both walking and driving are out of the equation. (When I do get food delivered, I am waiting at the door for them.)
