It’s the same problem as all the other ride share companies. They don’t pay their drivers enough and they massively over charge customers. Drivers get no benefits and have to use their own cars while DoorDash makes a fortune. It’s disgusting greed and it doesn’t help restaurants either
I know a few things could be pennies more expensive on the items in store. They often lack deals found on Native apps.
it’s usually cheaper to buy on doordash here than from the restaurants own app. I did get 3 years free DoorDash plus or what ever from Amazon Prime though, I likely won’t renew the subscription.
The only rip off is suggesting a 5 dollar tip on a 20 dollar order. Always tip $0.
The problem is that apps like Doordash also increase the price of each item individually. So if you order from the restaurant itself, the sandwich might be $10 and fries might be $3. But if you order from Doordash, the sandwich will be $12 and the fries will be $4, then they have delivery fees, AND have all of these other extra mystery fees and then paying the delivery driver on top of that.
Technically, the delivery fee is usually $0-5, but that’s not why it’s so expensive.
As I said, there are hidden fees too, not just service and delivery fees. Each menu item will have a hidden increased cost. I noticed this once when I compared the line items to a bill I had in the restaurant versus my Doordash bill. They increased the price of every single item on the menu and the app doesn’t tell you that they do this. Does this not happen in your country? I’d encourage you to do a test and check by looking at the prices of each item in the app versus going to the restaurant and seeing what their prices are.
Our delivery and service fees will also fluctuate depending on the date and time of day. It is not a constant number and will increase during dinner time and etc.
DoorDash were listing restaurants without their permission on the app. So a bunch of restaurants would either get orders they couldn’t fulfill, or DoorDash would just tell customers not to order there because they were unavailable, despite not being given permission to list them in the first place.
DoorDash is a brutally scummy company. Genuinely one of the worst service economy companies going around.
I think Uber that exploits their workers about the same, while also racing to get autonomous driving available no matter how many accidents happen to be quite a bit scummier.
DoorDash is a scam and should be shut down
What did I miss?

What the hell kind of bizarre place do you live in?
Newfoundland where restaurants want to charge a 7 dollar delivery fee for a 5 minute drive.
They do that elsewhere as well.

Door Dash here has free deliver over 15 bucks at all places but one. The service fee isn’t mystery. It’s 2.5%.
Like I said above. Only one local near me have different prices on Door Dash and in store. FYI the restaurants/stores set those prices.

Bruh you’re fuckin trolling
No.
The prices for Pizza Delight are the same on thier app and on Door Dash.
Pizza Delight has a 7.99 delivery fee here.
Door Dash has no delivery fee but a Service charge of 2.5%.
Door dash is the clear winner.
The only place I seen with larger mark ups on in store items is Loblaws. That’s what the frequent 50% and 25% coupons are for though.
You’re just a troll lying online to defend an extremely exploitative company
