When your food delivery order is wrong the restaurant never finds out and the problem keeps happening
You ordered a burger without pickles. You got a burger with pickles. You complained to Uber Eats or DoorDash and got a refund. The restaurant was never told. The same cook made the same mistake the next day for the next customer. The feedback loop that could fix the problem does not exist.

Delivery couriers blamed for kitchen mistakes
