>If you're working hourly from home and it saves you 30 minutes, or sick and can't leave the house, or the baby is napping and you don't want to wake her up, etc etc, it's more than paid for itself.

Compared to what? Pulling left overs out of the fridge? Or driving to get takeout? Driving to get takeout was never the financially savy decision in the first place so let's not set that as the baseline.

The baseline is: I want a burger and I don't want to cook it (or I enjoy this particular restaurant's recipe).

That's it. The comparison is indeed burger delivery vs drive-through/takeout. Cooking is irrelevant in the equation.
