These practices are not safe for anyone doing the job and are dangerous to other pedestrians and cyclists. When the accidents inevitably occur, neither the delivery service or the food vendor will be liable to anyone.
Remember the Domino's Pizza 30 minutes or free guarantee? They had to do away with it because people who were getting run over by their speeding drivers kept suing. Detaching the delivery from the store is a legal way to have dangerous policies without having to pay the real costs.
