Fake Restaurants Operating on Uber "Three years ago, one YouTuber?posted a video?that racked up over three million views detailing his time selling frozen pizzas out of his home through Uber Eats. He noted how easy it was to get started on Uber Eats, pay for advertisements through the platform, and order from his own “restaurant” to set up his business with a five-star review. Another YouTuber similarly posted a video about his own experience opening up a DoorDash?restaurant from his balcony. More recently, local Chicago news station?WGN9 News?investigated a virtual restaurant calling itself Blackbird (likely to copy the Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant) after an Uber Eats driver complained that he had to deliver food from this alleged restaurant that was operating out of an apartment complex. The driver reported his findings to the local Department of Health and the operation was swiftly ordered to shut down." #franchisechat #restaurants #delivery
"A viral TikTok shows a woman operating a virtual restaurant business out of her home kitchen, and the business was promptly taken down by DoorDash" Not so clever posting ....
