shoeberto posted:I mean there's nothing wrong with them I guess. It's just weird. Grubhub / doordash / exploitative app du jour have in the past made fake entries (or near-matches) for local real restaurants that didn't want to join the terrible app business model, and so people who thought they were buying from Shoeberto's NY Pizza were actually getting deliveries from a ghost kitchen reheating a lovely sodexo frozen pizza. And then once you do join the terrible app business model to stop all your customers from getting siphoned off by the fake "Shoebort's NU Pizza" listings, they start charging a bigger and bigger percentage. Food delivery apps are the mafia, and even when they're working well they're substandard delivery (because they aren't as integrated as your local chinese place, who for example wait to make your food until a driver will be ready to take it).

First article I pulled up related to ghost kitchen shenanigans, I know there's definitely more out there for those curious ‘It’s a bait and switch’: Behind the ‘fake’ Uber Eats and DoorDash restaurants that are making customers furious This one's about existing restaurants coming up with fake brands to unload their food onto unsuspecting customers. Straight up selling you something from Chili's but with a name that makes you think it's actually an independent restaurant or at the very least, an existing franchised ghost kitchen brand

And the whole gig economy thing where the delivery people are independent contractors and have insurance etc on their own dime instead of a company delivery vehicle, although that was already a pretty sketchy area with a lot of delivery folks getting screwed that way before the delivery app explosion. I'm sure there are a bunch of new, shittier things about being a delivery person for these apps though.

I also don’t really understand how an entire separate business sharing an Applebees kitchen at 7pm on a Friday is supposed to work. They’re not built like a WeWork.

One time we ordered from a Guy Fieri themed place that came out of a Denny's. My food came slathered in something called donkey sauce. It was some kind of gross mayo that was as thick as peanut butter.

There was a fairly famous fancy chicago restaurant, though the name escapes me at the moment, but anyway they showed up in my hood on GrubHub with a location I knew to be a banquet hall since it was like 2 blocks away from me, so yeah, that's when I learned about this ghost kitchen poo poo. It had dire reviews on GrubHub.

Tiny Timbs posted:I also don’t really understand how an entire separate business sharing an Applebees kitchen at 7pm on a Friday is supposed to work. They’re not built like a WeWork. Most of the true ghost kitchens are on their own location, whatever location with a commercial kitchen they can rent for cheap. They're not co-locating with an Applebees and they're not serving anyone on the premises. That one ghost kitchen might be doing food for 6 different fake restaurants on Grubhub, but that's their whole business. Get delivery orders and send them out. The same kitchen does the MrBeast Burger and Tijuana Slim's Mexican. The other scam is that a fake restaurant that has a menu with steak, burgers, wings, and salads -- a suspicious amount of overlap to what you get at an Applebees, but with all the Applebees names filed off and different pictures. And it's pretending to be a nice steak & burgers place that's local and not a chain, that's gonna be better food than an Applebees right? But your order actually goes to the Applebees and you get Applebees food but they put it in a generic package.

It actually cost local business' money, there's like 2 Pasquale's in Buffalo and people thought that's where they were ordering from. People legit thought he was cutting corners during quarantine and didn't go back.

That's the fun of the ghost brands. A surprising chunk of them are just "make this poo poo using whatever foods you get from whatever supplier," meaning even people in the same market may get significantly different food based solely on delivery zone. You get MrBeast Burger, Applebees Edition, while your buddy two miles down the road gets MrBeast Burger, Buca di Beppo edition. They look different and they taste different, but that's fine! It's bizarre.

We've got one place like that around here....the local servo(petrol/gas station) also runs as a pizza shop, burger place and fried chicken joint for menulog deliveries, seems dodgy as hell I was doing menulog for a bit for some extra cash, it was ok but frustrating waiting for restaurants to make their order, and I was mostly doing it during lockdown when there were way less cars on the road, once petrol prices went through the roof I gave it a rest

Cool Kids Club Soda posted:First article I pulled up related to ghost kitchen shenanigans, I know there's definitely more out there for those curious What's worse is that these pages are often higher in search rankings than the actual restaurants website, so people are misleadingly funneled into the third party app's storefronts instead of the places own. It's causing a lot of legal issues. As a general rule, those delivery apps are operating, if not outright illegally, then so close to the line of illegality and unethically that anyone who uses them should be ashamed of themselves.

Jelly posted:Yeah, but when you're a Republican bitching about it you look like a loving idiot because that's literally their entire platform (if they didn't have Democrats to bitch about, they wouldn't have a party. If they had more than Democrats to bitch about, they also wouldn't have a party). While Democrats are doing things like introducing ranked choice. Ah yes, as opposed to democrats saying it. Because after all they definitely have a strong powerful platform they're advancing and aren't busting strikes while laughing because what are you going to do, vote in the literal fascists? They wouldn't be destroyed by giving the people more options either, not one bit.

I still can’t get over how bad of a moniker “Mr. Beast” is. And I’ve probably got one of the dumber handles on this dead gay forum. I mean, I guess it worked out for him considering he’s like a mega-mega-millionaire, but if I was just trying to start out and grow my brand, I wouldn’t want to accidentally steer my would-be followers to some horse fucker website.

I always forget they're different people. But only one of them has my respect.quote:In February 2016, [LA Beast] competed at Wing Bowl 24 where he ate a cactus live on stage. To qualify for the competition, Strahle ate 24 raw eggs in under four minutes.[29] What a real American hero.
