It is as simple as a push of a button. Ordering through your phone - directly from the restaurant via a food delivery app.
But this streamlined process is being targeted by scammers at the expense of business owners.
Last month, Roman Jowkari at MoMo Donair thought he was speaking to an Uber Eats representative, only to discover that that was not the case.
"My dad picked up the phone, and our tablet has been running slow, so he said, 'Hey, we noticed that your tablet has been running slow,'" Mohammad Jowkari, Roman's son, told CityNews.
"It perfectly matched what we needed, and my dad basically gave our email and the password."
However, Mohammad Jowkari, a cyber security student at BCIT, knew right away that something was wrong.
"He basically asked for the two-step authentication code, and I said, 'Shouldn't you already have that?' - so I noticed that that was a scam," Mohammad Jowkari recalled.
The Jowkari were even getting another call from a fake representative when CityNews had arrived for the interview.
Mohammad Jowkari tries to call back, with the call going straight to voicemail.
"The Google subscriber that you have called is not available."
The scam could seriously impact a small business, with the hackers changing the payout information, diverting customer money straight to the hands of a scammer.
Every time the restaurant fills an order from an app, it loses money, and it could take days or weeks to discover the theft, which can add up.
Some restaurants rely on food apps for nearly half of their business.
"I have heard of one business that experienced it in Lonsdale and one other business on Marine Drive as well, they work with DoorDash," Mohammad Jowkari said.
After contacting Uber Eats directly to change their password and email, Roman Jowkari received numerous calls and emails from other food delivery scammers, attempting to gain access to his account.
"It said, 'email me back at this address' - which is not even Uber Eats," Mohammad Jowkari said.
"Unfortunately, bad actors continue to target people in all aspects of life with phishing and scams - and delivery platforms are no exception. We urge merchants to remain vigilant at all times," Uber Eats said in a statement.
Adding that Uber will never call, text, or email asking someone to give their personal information.
While the Jowkari family was able to catch the scam before it escalated, they are warning others to avoid a simple mistake that could cost them a big bite of their business.
