Delivery Premiums of Uber Eats and DoorDash

Uber Eats’ orders in Seattle fell 45% last quarter from the same period a year earlier after the company imposed a $4.99 fee on each order to cover the city’s new pay requirements.
DoorDash said Seattle drivers have to wait between orders three times longer than before. Uber said 30% of its active delivery drivers in the city have quit its app.

Wages needed increases and the apps needed higher fees to the point of some massive demand drops. There were also drops in demand when the ride hailing apps increased rates and legislation added various fees…but never this dramatic. Would expect these changes to spread to other cities over time and have that same dramatic impact to Uber and DoorDash growth rates.
