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

1.33K views

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?

It’s mainly scalability and efficiency… it’s almost painless for these companies to break into new markets, all they need is an office and a few employees to support their contracted workforce.
