Is there a source that provides a list of local places that employ their own staff to make deliveries v. using that of a commercial service?

I haven't seen one, sometimes the restaurant's website says they're using their own staff (but not always). Good point, though, as GrubHub, DoorDash, etc. can charge the restaurant a ridiculous amount to deliver.

The hidden cost of food delivery (https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/16/the-hidden-cost-of-food-delivery/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANzZaSG8Cs6ld7Y5q6e8H6zfhlWY j0DFVM6ugCRMv7UPIlM9VtN7kL-3xq5x3LViqrvyBhh19BlyUViASiMHkzxHTmTDVk6NoGgRMSS3J _y-dzLKJgJkVrGZw5JaQyeKtb21SnonJ5i_RwllKzGiLv9_5qqxC-2nnLpYjdNKzKIv)

I imagine after you substitute pizza, and Chinese, You could probably count the places that do their own delivery on two hands. They just can't survive using their own delivery resources. Two much marketing power you get from advertising on Grubhub, DoorDash, etc.

Guyutes used to use their own staff to deliver (not sure if they still deliver now that they're fully open) we tried to get them to deliver and we were literally one block outside their 2 mile radius, and they wouldn't deliver to us.

Sauced has always had their staff do deliveries (even before the pandemic), but they fall under the "pizza" category. :)

We generally do takeout instead of delivery, so those are really the only ones we've used.

These services are strangling restaurants. No thanks for me. That is why I personally will only support delivery from establishments that use their own. I would like to have a resource that promotes this viewpoint.
