> A McDonald's recently opened near me with no seating, and orders can only be placed through the app or at the drive thru.

I personally know a couple of Uber Eats restaurants whose only physical presence is literally a garage in a residential neighborhood, and they only take orders from the app. I also know of a Uber Eats competitor whose business model includes rider hubs that stock on a limited set of high volume products for quick delivery.

I wouldn't call them net loss of jobs per se. I see those as entirely different businesses with completely new business models. It's more a kin to ordering groceries online than to going on a night out.
