DoorDash and Uber Eats generate billions in annual revenue, powered by the 15% to 30% cut they take on each order placed through their platforms. An Omaha, Nebraska, restaurant owner revealed that he spent six figures paying delivery app fees last year, leading him to stop using services like DoorDash and Uber…

They started franchising in 2001 at the request of friends and customers who wanted to open…
