We have different delivery services in my country (mostly wolt and glovo), and yep, they fucked the prices of food here.

They probably take 20-30% of the item price from the restaurant (+charge delivery extra)... so eating inside or takeout should be cheaper.. but nope, to keep the prices consistent, pretty much everyone raised all their prices to the delivery levels.

I did start cooking more though.

I wouldn't go as far as cooking more often, but I am calling the restaurant and ordering direct and picking it up myself more often than not.

Israel? I have never ordered food because I knew it would be insane.. Are you telling me ordering wolt is about as cheap as ordering take out?

Slovenia.

I'm saying that stuff used to be eg. 7eur if you either picked it up or ate inside. Then wolt came, and due to wolts taking a percentage of the price, the price was 9 or even 10eur + delivery fee if you ordered on wolt, and because people complained (because the in-restaurant price was still 7eur), they raised the price to 10eur in the restaurant too.
