#2I've never met the owner of a bar/eatery/brewery that liked Yelp. All of them dealt with Yelp as a necessary evil.

#4I abandoned Yelp as a user pretty quick as it was just too much to filter through so many reviews by people who 1) Had some one off bad experience that is probably not representative of anything. 2) Wished that place they reviewed was like some other place that is kinda the same but ... it's twice the price so why are you comparing?

They actually have a partnership with them, I believe, where you can order thru them from the app.

They used to. They called it Eat24, and then they sold it to Grubhub.

#9I don't have any sympathy for a site that purposely cripples the web mobile site to force you to install their app. They lock you out of pictures after around 20 so you have to go to desktop or install their crappy app. Yelp will not be missed.

Yea they could have easily added reservations ( opentable) , deliveries ( grubhub) , group dining ( meetup).
