Uber Eats and Mr D vs direct buying — The price you pay for convenience

The reason for this is fairly straightforward — the delivery and service fees themselves are not sufficient to cover these companies’ operating costs and cannot support sufficient earnings for drivers.

Therefore, the customers pay for a marked-up product, which many are willing to do simply because of the convenience that on-demand delivery offers. An Uber spokesperson said although it could not comment on specific marketplace fees, it wanted to reiterate that these were put in place to contribute towards the creation, growth and success of an economically sustainable sector that facilitated growth and earning opportunities for all stakeholders — including merchants and drivers on the platform.

This initiative benefits Mr D’s Historically Disadvantaged Partners , which are businesses that have faced historical barriers due to factors like ownership, independence, or size. McDonald’s, Nando’s, Roman’s Pizza, and Simply Asia offer their own websites and apps from which you can order products at their in-store prices.
