I think that if food delivery was treated how my last postal package was treated, then all food would be arriving as a soup, or maybe as a goulash.

Look at that money on the table! Of course we should privatize the USPS!
(/s of course)
Wow you could almost cook your own meals at home for that. But uh-oh, it would be inconvenient.
The main delivery app in my country has a section for places that currently have no delivery fees, and often have deals like 20% off your order ontop of that. I don't order often at all, but I always use that when I do.
This is a perfect illustration of why we should not privatize essential services.

It's a service offered in exchange for currency. No one is forcing anyone to request food delivery service over Uber or whatever. It's pure and simple convenience
The other is a state service, which might surprise some but manages quite a lot of citizens private information. Certainly nothing as banal as food
I'm sure the food is cheaper if you ordered it more than 24h beforehand
If there was a service like this, I'd probably buy there every day. I can plan 1-2 days ahead what I'd like to eat, but more is harder. This would be perfect.

I'm offering budget food delivery. 3 day delivery guaranteed.
Er do people actually pay that high of fees for Uber eats? Maybe in NYC or something? I don't really use it if I can help it but I've never seen fees that high. Edit: although I will note that many of my experiences with GrubHub/doordash/Uber eats end with me looking at the fees, saying "yeah that's way too much", and closing the browser tab.
I've had high fees but things are hidden, like, increased prices, tips, fees and stuff? I got my license last year so now I can drive on my own to get stuff but being in the burbs without transport in these poorly designed towns blows.
A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.
