The guy who ordered from Denny’s just had a meltdown on camera lol
I do doordash and those are my favorite orders. Walk in, press the order on the screen, go to a little "locker" door, grab it and go. Leave it at the door and take a pic.
NO. WORDS. SPOKEN.
If I could drive all day I'd never look back
The Burger Den is Dennys by me lol
Such a dumb argument… you got your food, they made money, Uber made money, user riders made money… one such a Dramatic people. Just go starve your self
Sad, trying to monopolize over small business squeezing them out
These large restaurants are franchise own thats why.. some owned by people which costs nothing for them to place a virtual kitchen.
Virtual restaurants? Wtf?
I Used to be uber eats and there's a huge site between 13 and 14 street and 5 av .. they have like 15 different places over there is crazy ..
I have saw someone cook something out there refrigerator and give it to an Door Dasher 😢
LMAO virtual kitchens 🤣 why aren't they on Meta lol oh bc Meta is BS and non existent 😂
why catfished? Did they deliver? If yes, move on.
I'm not gonna lie the guy in the interview sounds a little paranoid lol. Like it's still food from a licensed business regardless of where it's being prepared
fingers crossed that the government doesn't try to regulate this.
This trend is great for operators and consumers.
The whole reason you go to a restaurant is for the uniqueness of the menu and the food items. So silly to me that people expect quality food when they are too lazy to even leave their home to go get it LOL
It would be an out of shape, middle of the night, sandwich eating, glutton to complain. Don't knock the hustle 🐷
Why is this a problem? If the brand works out maybe it'll become a brick and mortar – and if you're a small business owner with a kitchen and you already deliver – open a ghost kitchen to test items you've always wanted to make but doesn't match your brick mortar business! Its not like you can start a ghost kitchen from your house. They still get taxed and pay business fees and put money into the economy.
Pay top prices for food created with Dennys level ingredients and skill. Scam.
I've never ordered food through a delivery service, I don't trust the drivers, but not just that, it makes it so a cheeseburger ends up costing almost 40 dollars and it arrives ice cold. What's the point?
Tried The Meltdown (Denny's) was a'ight.
My favorite DoorDash order is from a ghost kitchen. It’s good and I haven’t died yet. Lol
I rented a room and come to find out they was running a ghost kitchen at the house. I moved out after three weeks
