A Des Moines company wants to compete against Uber Eats, DoorDash

State of play: Lam built the EatFuti app when the pandemic first hit and restaurants were shifting to takeout and delivery orders, he tells Axios.

• While everyone was relying on online ordering, he noticed that some smaller, local restaurants lacked a digital presence. He built EatFuti to offer delivery from those restaurants, as well as extra services.

By the numbers: The starter EatFuti package charges restaurants $60 a month and 14% commission per order. It comes with a website, photos and online menu.

• DoorDash's basic offering is 15% commission per order, and restaurants are discoverable through its app, but it does not come with other services.
• Uber Eats charges a 15% fee for each delivery and restaurants are discoverable only if someone searches in the app.

The intrigue: EatFuti hosts "capybara parties" at restaurants that pay for its most expensive package. They'll host games, offer discounts and give away capybara-themed prizes, like keychains and backpacks.

• App users can also earn points by checking in at participating restaurants and build up points for capybara prizes.

If you go: The next capybara party is at The Burger Shop in Clive on Sunday.
