This actually made me hungry.

It's too fast. There should be an artificial pause while adding to cart or capturing the payment

I need to enter a coupon code for more dopamine. And a loyalty program.

Practically no vegan options. Very realistic

This is great. I need one for building permits.

OK, this actually worked as advertised. I feel dopamined. I just wished the delivery took longer and there was a payment process that longer than an instant. Could have a saved card on file that you could use.

Does this have the ridiculous dark patterns that Deliveroo in the UK has? “Pay a monthly fee for free deliveries!* *We won’t tell you, but you might notice, we’ve now increased the service charge by almost the amount of what you saved on that free delivery.

Isn't it just like porn and video games work too. Weird no one thought of it before.

I was really hoping to add some fries, a drink and to customize my burger. Not that I customize my burger except maybe take off the pickles or remove the ice from my drink, but it adds to the dopamine factor.

wait what? shouldn't it make you more hungry/angry? when the food doesn't come...

Humans, huh

> It's just to replicate the ritual of ordering food and give you the dopamine that the real process gives you. I’m confused. How does the food-ordering process give you dopamine? It generally just gives me anxiety due to the uncertainties involved, until the food arrives in good condition, which here it won’t.

Counterproductive for me. Seeing all that tasty looking food makes me want to binge.

The hardest part of food delivery is the tip section. It's where you use all your brain power to make a decision. That's the only part I would have given me dopamine hit from pretend tipping. Missed opportunity.

Doesn't quite meet the fantasy threshold. I can't seem to filter by allergens or dietary restrictions.

Next step: Fully customized sex worker service at your doorstep ... faked for the dopamine, of course.

This website works better than most sites I order from. Except for the delivery of course :)
