Illes started his own delivery company, 'Tony Delivers,' promising to bring a customer's food within a limited delivery area for a flat fee of $5.
If you’ve ordered restaurant food from one of the apps like DoorDash, GrubHub or Uber Eats in the city of Seattle — you know delivery prices have gone way up this year.
“I’m probably making more than minimum wage,” Illes said. “On average, during the average hour. But, 80% of a restaurant’s earnings probably within peak hours, and my earnings follow suit with that.”Illes has a limited Downtown-Lower Queen Anne-SLU delivery area, with approximately 70 restaurants to choose from. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is his flat fee.
Illes’ days are busy. He occasionally stays home and dispatches somebody else to take the scooter and the food to the customer. They get to keep the delivery fee and any tips. He doesn’t earn anything those days — other than the goodwill of the customer. It’s pretty clear Illes is no fan of the business model of the big delivery apps. In the end, he believes the little guy will win.“Food delivery is here to stay, forever,” Illes said. “I disagree with them in the sense that it has any potential to be more than just smaller businesses working together. I don’t think that it works at that big a scale.”
