Pizza shops (and, say, Chinese takeout restaurants) are the classic kinds of businesses that employed dedicated delivery drivers (or, more likely, it's a family business, and a family member does double duty).
But delivery sushi? Delivery pasta? Delivery tapas? Delivery burritos? Delivery Korean fried chicken? Delivery acai bowls? Delivery kebab?
DoorDash etc. gives us a variety of options that we mostly didn't really have before.
I do agree with you on the bullshit of turning employment into disposable contractors. But maybe we should change our laws to make that not possible, instead of condemning the idea that it's actually neat to be able to get nearly any kind of food from nearly any restaurant delivered to your door. We didn't used to have that.
