    #557 | Uber Eats Raises Platform Cost To Struggling Restaurant Partners

    In this episode of the podcast, we dive into the future of delivery, the economics of food apps, and new platforms trying to reshape the industry. First, we break down the rise of next-generation delivery robots — including a new robot with arms capable of opening doors and completing deliveries more autonomously. What does this mean for last-mile logistics, restaurants, and gig workers? And how close are we to a world where robots handle the majority of deliveries? Then we discuss a big shift in the delivery platform landscape: Uber Eats increasing fees for some restaurants. The company is raising commission rates in certain pricing tiers (with some going from 15% to 20% and others up to 25%) while also charging additional fees tied to its Uber One subscription customers. For many independent restaurants already operating on tight margins, even a few percentage points can significantly impact profitability. We also explore alternative models that aim to give restaurants and shoppers more control, including: Dumpling — a platform that enables independent personal shoppers to run their own grocery delivery businesses. Prept Vacations — a service designed to help travelers maintain their health and fitness routines while on vacation. Topics covered in this episode: The rise of delivery robots with arms 🤖 Automation vs. human labor in last-mile logistics Why Uber Eats is raising delivery fees for restaurants The real economics of third-party delivery platforms New startups trying to disrupt the delivery and service space Links discussed in the episode: Delivery robot with arms: https://moderndelivery.substack.com/p/meet-the-delivery-robot-with-arms Dumpling: https://www.dumpling.us/ Prept Vacations: https://www.preptvacations.com/ Uber Eats fee changes: https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/technology/uber-eats-raising-delivery-fees-some-restaurants If you’re interested in the future of delivery, food tech, robotics, and the creator economy around logistics, this episode is packed with insights.
