    Plenty of places don’t even want these third parties doing this but they have no recourse.

    Like even DoorDash in the US. They have a separate credit card for drivers to buy from places that refuse DoorDash. So the drivers just play middleman and order as theirselves, use the DoorDash card, and then make the delivery. The restaurant can’t do anything about it.

      You are not obligated to cater to door dash as a buisness owner.

        You do not have a choice as a business owner. If you offer any kind of take out at all, they will just list your stuff with or without your consent, and the drivers will just order it as themselves like any other customer. You don’t know until the actual customer calls with a complaint.

        Hell, they will sometimes list it even if you don’t and then you have to deal with bad reviews when DoorDash just cancels an order on the customer when the driver gets told they don’t do take out.

        These third parties do not give a shit. They will do it even if you as the business explicitly say to not do it. And they’ll keep doing it until they get seriously punished for it.
