> I would be confused why anyone would buy a chain pizza like this through DoorDash (or a similar service). Beyond the one tenuous benefit of not having to install another app; is it really worth the extra surcharge? Are they even listed in these apps?
Papa Johns is listed on Deliveroo. I often order PJs through Deliveroo when I'm hungry and don't want to think too much.
It costs more in money, it costs less in cognitive load. I know what I'm getting as far as the food is concerned, PJs is remarkably consistent, and I don't need to bother signing up for a new account with someone, working out payment details, etc.
You'd be surprised how many people like myself exist. Not everyone has every aspect of their financial life fully optimised. This is one area where I definitely have room for improvement.
In the mean time, Deliveroo ensures that when I'm exhausted at the end of a long week, I'm only a few clicks away from repeating my last PJs order and my Friday lunch pizza will arrive with minimal effort.
Not sure how Deliveroo works. But I would think the issue here is you may miss out on coupons, promotions and deals chains like Papa Johns usually have. If we say saving yourself 5 bucks using a promo code on a weekly ordered pizza, on a yearly basis this comes out to almost 300/year of savings.
