Singles Shun Dating Apps for In-Person Events, New Delivery App Targets Menu Markups

A growing number of singles are expressing frustration with the cost and effectiveness of dating apps, opting instead for in-person dating events that they perceive as offering better value. This shift reflects a broader sentiment of dissatisfaction with digital-first dating solutions.

Concurrently, the food delivery landscape is seeing innovation aimed at addressing consumer concerns over inflated prices. A new app, Olo, is launching with a business model that promises to stick to in-store menu prices and implement a modest 5 percent fee, aiming to provide a more affordable and transparent alternative for consumers ordering meals at home.
