It's a lot more than $5, partly because they jack up the menu prices by anywhere from 25-40% before hitting you with the fees. And it's more cold. Nothing like a cold $20 chick fil a meal delivered by Habib 40 minutes later when I could have crushed a hot meal 20 minutes earlier if I'd just been willing to move my lard ass off the couch for a few minutes
It varies from store to store, and it's not difficult to figure out if you somewhat regularly dine-in or drive-thru. Also depends on your credit card perks (I believe Sapphire offers free "Dash Pass" which discounts everything significantly).
If you're getting cold food, complain -- their automated system will 9 times out of 10 reimburse you for it. But I do agree there are certain foods you don't want delivered. Pizza, burritos, etc... will keep. Burgers are hit or miss, just depends on the location.
Obviously you are still paying more, but end of the day it's still a cost-analysis of what your time is worth.
10 minute drive to Chick-Fil-A, 10 minutes waiting in the drive-thru, 10 minutes driving home. So half-an-hour all-in.
What is half an hour of your time worth?
If $15 Whataburger is worth it to you, then $22 Whataburger delivered is only a calculation of if the time you saved is worth $7 -- not if the Whataburger was actually worth $22.
