What does it mean?
The app takes a commission from the restaurant, and you pay fees on top. That's why the same order can cost more than pickup.
Menus on apps show calories where the restaurant provides them. Other nutrition usually isn't shown.
How does it show up when you order food?
Delivery apps are built for ordering, not for choosing by nutrition. Pleit helps you pick the meal first, and is planned to compare totals across apps and pickup.
