Uber eats swiggy and Zomato are like ulips. You just can't estimate final bill until you add to cart apply coupons and then see. Just found that doing two orders from same restaurant on one of them was the best option.
The prices on the apps are totally weird. They bump up prices and add taxes and delivery charge and then give a discount....after which it's cheaper than going to the restaurant direct. But no coupon and you pay a lot more.
This means to me that the discounts exist to keep demand going...infact some restaurant owners tell me to.order on some app even when I go there to take a delivery.
The economics are interesting even if I don't really care about the saving in absolute terms. It's now a game to win just because I get irritated with the bumped up prices.
