My new years resolution for 2026 was to quit using 3rd party delivery companies. It was annoying at first but I've kept it and life is better without them.

Agreed; I look back in horror at how much I spent on delivery fees and tips in my 20s before I took control of this part of my life.

Mind giving more detail into how it went? Did first-party delivery options tend to exist and work well, or did you just adjust your expectations re: convenience?

In what way has life been better without them? I've been considering quitting them as well and I'd love to hear.

Same here, I don’t have to deal with rude delivery people and useless AI based customer service, plus I am not wasting my money delivery and services fees. On top of that I became a home cook!
