Why are delivery companies like DoorDash and GrubHub suddenly economically viable?

People have had cars, addresses, and telephones for a century. Pizza and Chinese food have been showing up at people’s doorsteps for decades. Surely it seems like everything one would need to build a food delivery contracting company existed before the internet. What was missing that prevented me from ordering tacos by phone in 1995?

In the big scheme they aren’t but they get by thanks to minimal expenses(drives eat most of it) and low pay w/ no benefits. The only thing that has changed is due to smartphones increasing the customers accessibility to the market and the ease of finding/managing a workforce.
