This website works better than most sites I order from. Except for the delivery of course :)
No delivery and I’m still waiting for my refund - on par with the industry benchmark!

#52It's too fast. There should be an artificial pause while adding to cart or capturing the payment
This would actually add to the effect because the “hit” depends on the anticipation.

#53I 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.
This is a key part of it - all the decision making, just like choosing the food, but making it yours.

The link is to the BingeEatingDisorder subreddit. From the link, > I know that at least for me, the actual process of ordering food delivery is part of the addiction
I'm seeing a business opportunity for a gambling site where it is extremely cheap to play, but the payout is always 0 dollars.
Hm, or even a gambling site that uses real money but where you always get your money back, eventually.

#55The curse of technology. If people still had to hunt their protein and grind corn by hand, we wouldn't need anti-binge-eating apps.

#56I just had double jaw surgery so I'm "eating" though a straw (or syringe).
At least I can order regular food with this.

There were fintechs that did this, I think yotta and one other that was acquired by a big bank. I think it was (is?) popular but if I remember correctly they lost customer funds because of Synapses failure and the way the customer funds were organized they weren’t insured.

IMO you should also wait half an hour for the food not to be delivered. Isn’t that the suspenseful part?
Re: Fake food delivery site for the dopamine
#59> 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.
Do you get anxious when you order at a restaurant? There is the same exact uncertainty there compared to ordering ahead by 10 minutes while you are on the way there.
There is a very different uncertainty with a far shorter loop to remedy any problems. I have never sat in a restaurant thinking that [any food delivery-specific failure mode] will arise.

#60I almost ordered, but the delivery fee is way too high.
