These companies copy my menu, images and all. Mark up the prices incredibly. Market my menu to customers with inflated prices as if they are the restaurant prices. Then they also charge a delivery fee on top.

Customer drives by the bricks a week later and keeps driving because I have terrible prices.

Worst of all I have no idea the transactions are happening, and the companies are directing drivers to not divulge they are not the actual customer.



Curious how they are getting your menu?

Do you have a website and they scrape it? Or did they physically pay a mechanical Turk or some similar process to type it out, then mark it up 20%+?


I think they probably Turk it with drivers, and just hand jamb it with the menu board photos.
