I've been to a couple of smaller restaurants recently that used to be sit-down and are now take-out only. The tables are pushed up against the wall and chairs are stacked and the former dining areas are full of supplies now.
I'm not sure if all the delivery ap things work the same but I heard that Skip the Dishes charges a fee and that fee goes to the drivers and then Skip the Dishes gets a percentage of the food sale from the restaurant.
As for the delivery aps, I find a lot of places need to adjust their service counters so that delivery drivers can get their food without pushing past the lineup and yelling out the number they want. Some places will at least have a dedicated person to deal with it but I've seen many times when the order taker person stops dealing with the customer ordering to deal with the driver. Or sit down places it can get crowded in the waiting area when it starts to fill up with drivers.
