Greek Delivery Giant Efood Faces Major Backlash over Worker’s Rights
One thing to consider about services like this is the actual value that they add to the store owners or customers. In my opinion this value is more is less zero! They don&#x27;t offer anything in the business of delivery. In reality, the store owners are forced to use these services and pay a heavy premium so as to not be left out: If your restaurant can&#x27;t be found on the app then the customer will prefer the ones he finds!<p>(Please notice that here in Greece all restaurants had their own delivery people before e-food and other similar companies emerged)<p>This is really problematic for me. A whole enterprise has been created by inventing a fake need (order food from the internet; why is it so difficult to just make a call?). Nobody actually profits except that particular company(e-food etc)!<p>To make my point even more; consider the situation 10 years ago. The same pool of people that ordered food are ordering from the same pool of restaurants. However nowadays a percentage of the money goes to e-food (and similar companies). For what?<p>Myself, I never use these companies because I know that there&#x27;s a premium that will go to them and either me or the store owner (usually the store owner) will need to pay for that! I just call the store and go there and pick the food up! Also all restaurant owners I have talked to, prefer getting calls directly and handling the orders themselves to avoid paying the e-food premium.
