When you place an order through a food delivery app, you assume that you’re getting the same meal you’d receive if you dined at the restaurant. But what you don’t see is how restaurants have started cutting corners, reducing portions to make up for the commission fees they owe to delivery platforms. You might think you’re paying for a full meal, but in reality, you’re getting less food for the same if not higher price. This trick is subtle but effective. Restaurants quietly downsize their portions while keeping prices the same or even increasing them to cover the hidden costs of using third-party apps. It’s a win for them but a major loss for you.

You might wonder why this is happening, but it all boils down to profit margins. Restaurants are being squeezed by hefty commission fees from delivery services, and rather than absorbing the cost, they pass it on to you in the form of smaller portions. A burger that used to come with a hearty side of fries? Now you’re lucky if you get a handful. That pasta dish that used to fill the container? It’s shrunk to a fraction of its former size, leaving you hungry and frustrated. What’s even worse is that most customers don’t realize this is happening. The food is hidden behind packaging, and by the time you open it, you’re left with a sense of disappointment—but there’s no immediate comparison. If you ate in the restaurant, you would likely notice the difference, but delivery makes it easy for restaurants to cut back without consequence.

The worst part of this trend? You’re not saving money. In fact, you’re often paying more for less food. Delivery apps routinely inflate prices, something you may not even notice unless you compare the online menu with the restaurant’s in-person pricing. So not only are you getting smaller portions, but you’re also paying a premium for the convenience of having it delivered to your door.

And let’s not forget the additional fees, service fees, delivery fees, and surge pricing during peak hours, all adding up to a much higher total than you’d pay if you simply picked up the meal yourself. So, you’re left with a lighter wallet, a half-filled stomach, and a growing sense of frustration.
