What does DTK need?

People will use the app where the restaurants are. It’s why some of the sleazier apps lie about which restaurants they service.

And getting restaurants on board would be utterly trivial “we aren’t beholden to VCs and won’t fuck you in the ass with a rake”. Literally every restaurant would join in a second.

I'm assuming you meant to quote my post replying to SF22, so I'm replying under that assumption.

Yes, 100% the companies would immediately sign up to a public/co-op alternative. But I don't think that means they would drop support for other apps. The reason I think this is that I disagree with your statement that "people will use the app where the restaurants are"; a significant number of people will order from the restaurants that are on the app(s) they have, not the other way around.

You can look at many existing restaurants to see that this is true too

1. They aren't all exclusively on the one app that offers them the lowest fees, they are on many apps to maximize their exposure
   
2. Many self host online ordering (and sometimes even delivery) to avoid the app fees, but they still use the apps to maximize their exposure (often with higher prices on the apps to cover the fees)
