I can generally order anything I want, pickup or delivery, through GrubHub. Of course they track me; I pay them and they find me at home for delivery.

But I can also sit on a bus and order from the restaurant that's at my next stop, 20 minutes away. Google Maps has become great for this, actually. You find a restaurant and you hit the "Order" button, and there's a menu of choices for who to order from. You could GrubHub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, or you could order from the restaurant's website.

Restaurant websites have variable quality, mostly very poor, unless they're a franchise, or signed up with an aggregator, but hey, it's not an app.

Is it just a general fear of technology as to why or is there some other reason why you don't want to install an app?

Check out the permissions and trackers that the Wendy's app requires. They'd ask for root if it was possible.

You realize you can deny those permissions?

I do know that and I do. I use App Manager in adb mode to freeze it (and all the other fast food apps) when I'm not using it as well.

I don't want to maintain an account and surveillance footprint on my phone for every brand or restaurant I deal with.

I don't ever get delivery and prefer to eat on site rather than get takeout so I don't have a need to order ahead anyway.

But I'm happy to order from an in-store kiosk once I get there.

Fair. To each their own. I didn't make an account to use <redacted>, and the convenience of putting in my order before I walk over there means it's ready when I get there so I have more time to enjoy eating it at the park nearby.

Its a hassle. We’re just trying to eat
