Should I cook or order out?

What CRACTT weighs

  • All-in delivery cost

    Menu markup, service fee, delivery fee, and tip — usually 1.5–2x the listed price.

  • Real cooking time

    Prep, cook, and cleanup, not just the recipe's stated time.

  • What's already in the fridge

    Food you've already bought is the cheapest food available.

  • Pickup as the middle path

    Same meal, no delivery markup, small time cost.
