I would be livid if apps did that in my area. Here you can get even supermarket food delivered and other than the delivery fee (and tip if you decide to give one but they aren’t usual here) the cost is the same as in store.

The price hikes come after all local competitors or alternatives have been run out of the market.

Not sure exactly how things are setup now for the various apps, but a few years ago some of the apps would charge the restaurant for their delivery service (sometimes a set monthly cost, sometimes a set cost per delivery, sometimes a percentage) so the restaurants would often recoup that cost by increasing prices in the app.

Heck, Doordash has an entire support page for merchants about setting prices in the app and whether to have them marked up.
