Grubhub is not “adding value” here. They’re taking advantage of a business sector that has razor-thin margins, and is barely keeping its head above water. They’re going to growth-hack their way to destroying the livelihood of all their customers.

App developers complain when Apple takes a 30% cut of sales. But the profit margins on software are often 80%+. Typical restaurant profits margins are 5%!!! (Grubhub charges 15-30%!)pic.twitter.com/ol4EMPnS5i

Jackasses (like me) in the tech sector think we’re “super awesome entrepreneurs.” But we’re beniftting massively from open source and low fixed-costs. And, with our high profit margins, we also have the luxury of making a few mistakes! Brick-and-mortar businesses can’t.

All of you startup folks saying “just let the free market work” love to ignore all the free open-source tech we get to use to run our businesses. (Not to mention the open protocols we depend on; many of which were funded by the government and academia)

Arguably, if it weren’t for TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, etc being free (and open) protocols, web app profit margins would be as low as any other business. Our “rents” are low because we get a lot for free. If restaurants didn’t have to pay their rent, they’d have good margins too!

There are some good actors here. Square enabled local delivery + pickup features in their point-of-sale software, and made it free for now. https://twitter.com/square/status/1240330945422602246?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Square/status/1240330945422602246 …

Are there any updates on that open source idea? Joined their Discord but there is little to no activity. (And no design section yet) https://discord.gg/5DWV6p8 /
