Can someone explain to me why Wonder Bagel would make multiple listings of differently-named places on Seamless?

The more spaces they take up on seamless the more chance of someone ordering from them! It’s a little underhanded but technically above board. Lots of places in little India are also doing this.

Also — not really this example, but in NYC a lot of hole-in-the-wall places post an “upscale” brand with higher places for delivery. I knew a place that was 30-40% cheaper for the same food if you used the less “upscale” brand option

Wing places are notorious for this, loads of those wing shops are actually just pizzerias and fried chicken places running fake wing shops. Even domino's and pizza hut do it

fwiw that is likely solely done by the franchise owner, and corporate likely doesnt promote that tactic

The appearance of competition. People don’t like wonderbagels? They’ll try the other one.
