During 2020 I lived in an apartment in the back corner of a gigantic complex that was 99% surrounded with walls, there was only one road in and to get to my unit all you had to do was follow the road straight to the very back of the complex. That's it. I didn't have my own car and lived alone so I was relying on instacart/doordash for food. After about 4 months I uninstalled both apps and started walking to the grocery store instead because of the number of drivers who couldn't find my place. After the first few I started sending detailed written instructions. "Drive through the double arches, follow the road straight to the very back. I am in unit # at the end of the road, right in front of parking space #". Not just putting them in the app but also texting them to the driver while they were picking up the food.

Maybe 1/2 had no problem finding it. Out of the other half most would turn right immediately after entering the double arch gates and then drive in circles around the complex for a while before calling me. About half of them would then call me a second time when they still couldn't find it after the first call. There were a few who literally made me walk 1/2 mile to the front of the complex and meet them there because they could not figure out my instructions. I would walk straight down the road at them for the entire 1/2 mile waving at them.

The reason most restaurants don't offer delivery is probably that ppl are too dumb to find unit numbers in an apartment complex
