I know right, it's crazy. $3 service fee + $1.99 delivery fee + the food costs $4 more + expected $5 tip + ...

I feel like every time I tap the screen while using a delivery app I get charged a dollar

Interesting, I've never seen food markups. That might be specific to a restaurant/location/app

They're not always obvious! You need to compare the prices in the app to the restaurant's own takeout menu prices. My understanding is that the restaurants themselves add the markup to offset the fees that DoorDash charges them.
