I strongly don’t believe they lose billions, sounds like accounting trickery ie charging subsidiaries ‘license fees’, ‘high interest loans’

I also don’t believe they’re rolling in it.

Previously they forced restaurants to charge same price as their menu. There were a lot of leaks that they were charging restaurants 25-30%… meaning many places were probably not making a profit.

It looks like that changed 2-3 years ago. Now if you look at the menu, then jump online to see the restaurant menu, you’ll also see prices are around 25-30% higher. + the add on the delivery fee of $8-9 AUD in Australia

Uber Eats and similar companies use the same strategy, they charge standard or convenience delivery fees (between $1-5 depending on the market). It also takes a cut on the restaurant owners’ revenues (anywhere between 15-40% of every order depending on the market). And it collects marketing and advertising fees from restaurant partners.

Hello Philippines 😂 We have GrabFoods here particularly and their prices clearly exploits the term “inflation”. Most of the menu item shoots up to 25% increase while the quality and serving is going south 😂
