> That’s what is so odd to me about third-party delivery platforms. The business of food delivery clearly is not intrinsically a loser. Domino’s figured it out. Every Chinese restaurant in New York City seemed to have it figured out long before any platform came along. My friend is figuring it out.

Domino's and Chinese are very specific high-margin businesses. Basically the highest-margin restaurant businesses.

That doesn't, in any way, prove that food delivery in general is not a loser. In fact, if you have to specifically pick the two highest-margin examples as your examples... maybe the industry in general isn't all that sustainable.
