Fast food chains are marking up individual menu items by up to $10 on delivery apps, passing on their losses after third-party services take a cut of the sale.
The higher prices – which are being charged by local outlets as well as multinational corporations – are paid in addition to delivery and service fees charged by delivery apps such as Menulog and UberEats, which can add another $8 to an order.
The fast food chain charges $32 for one of its Spartan bowls on UberEats and Menulog, but only $22 if purchased at the shop or ordered through its own website for pick-up or local delivery. Fishbowl co-founder Nic Pestalozzi agreed higher prices were necessary to make partnering with delivery companies viable.
