This whole thing is antithetical to the spirit of the open web. Remember when we wanted to index REAL information? The LEAST these platforms (Yelp, Grubhub, Google) can do is show a real phone number for a local business.

The restaurant industry needs open source. Think about how open source helped level the playing field for indie tech businesses. Every tech entrepreneur benefits from free software. Why should low margin restaurants be any different? https://twitter.com/danpriceseattle/status/1251667344155217921?s=21 …https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1251667344155217921 …

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!

W odpowiedzi do @mijustin
I agree with your statements here, but I don’t understand the comparison to the open web, open standards, and open source. I don’t think what GrubHub is doing would in any way be solved by the restaurant industry using open source.

Governments around the world have spent trillions of dollars investing in internet infrastructure (the delivery mechanism for web apps). Imagine if they invested the same in delivery mechanisms for brick-and-mortar shops (delivery robots, the postal service).pic.twitter.com/WgnHOgc95e
