 The services all add a surcharge and charge the restaurant - and in
 some cases they're taking orders on behalf of the restaurant and
 charging them for the privilege.

 I grew up with a kitchen junk drawer full of takeout/delivery menus,
 that seemed to work just fine, gave all the money to the resataurant
 and worked well.

 I heard someone call that the "sauce drawer", because all of the to-go
 condiments left over went there.
