The restaurants (that aren’t mega chains like McDonalds) are usually utterly incompetent in spheres of logistics and IT. I don’t see how this can end up well.

That's what federations and marketing co-ops are for. They're really common in the agriculture sector. Nut, dairy, berry, and fruit farmers buy into groups like Land O Lakes, Blue Diamond, Sun-Maid, Tillamook, and Welch's, and then those entities handle the logistics and distribution and pass back the profits.
Platforms like grubhub and doordash could and should still exist, but they shouldn't be separate VC-backed for-profits, they should be restaurant-owned.
