makes sense. I’ve noticed since covid a lot of places use Doordash drivers instead of delivery drivers now. It’s cheaper and the extra cost goes to the customer
Near me it basically was a convenient way for greed to run rampant.
Before the pandemic, delivery meant “your order + delivery fee + tip for driver”.
The last time I attempted to order delivery it was my order ($30 minimum) + delivery fee + packaging fee (charging for the disposable containers and forks and stuff) + third party delivery service fee + tip for driver + tip for restaurant staff + delivery service peak time upcharge.
I only wanted a $20 entree, but by the time I added a few apps to get to the delivery minimum and added all the fees up with the tips, it was getting to be over $65 for one meal.

So I cancelled and cooked my own damn dinner.
I’ve done this many times. I gave up on deliveries.
Take out
Especially the part where if its their driver and something goes wrong? They have to do something about it.
If it’s a third party? “You’ll have to take it up with them, and they will tell you to take it up with us, no you’re not getting a refund.”
Yep. I avoid anything that uses it. We basically have one restaurant that we occasionally use. DoorDash has ruined the delivery industry.
yay cold food
Cold food, yes, but you get to pay more for it.
