As someone who worked at a family restaurant that NO LONGER USES doordash, it was awful. We ended up closing door dash orders super early because they kept showing up after we closed our kitchen despite that. I, as the person who managed the 35-item order and stacked it perfectly into four large bags and directly handed it to the driver, got 0 tips from all of my effort and they charged the restaurant a huge commission. And don’t even start me on the drivers who’d take the wrong person’s order if I didn’t directly hand it to them or take only one of the bags and then I’d be the one with the angry phone call. The doordash bell sound still haunts me to this day and I will never work for a restaurant that uses doordash again. It sucked.

I'm in no real position to give business advice, but unless you're getting someone to go over each of your doordash orders full time, at that point it might be a better investment to hire 2 fulltime drivers. These companies will get away with as much as they can, as they know fighting them is time consuming and expensive, it's part of their business model once you reach a level of power like that. Additionally as you making that transition from delivery apps to drivers, to try to compensate for the loss in customers you can up your social media presence and have a flyer come with every food app delivery advertising to order from the store directly.

Hi, Drew! I actually work for DoorDash as my primary income! Another annoying thing about DoorDash is you are HEAVILY incentivized to accept what you’re given.

@@TheRabidDeer When DoorDash offers you an order, the total amount they offer is base pay + tip. They don't tell you which is which until after the order, but you can usually get a rough estimate of which is which by learning how the system works. Occasionally they don't tell you what the full amount is, and will incentivize you to take it with the promise of more money. Sometimes it's really good ($15 extra), sometimes not so much ($.50 extra).

Second: DD doesn’t know when we’re out of certain items, making it frustrating when someone orders something that we’re out of. Third: the drivers get really impatient when the food isn’t done by the time they arrive to pick it up.

as someone who's now been on both sides, I can now see why the driver is upset when it's not done on time. Most of us are paid per order, so if we're expecting a $5 dollar order to take 10-15 mins total, but then arrive and its not even started, that might be stretched out to 20-30 mins, and now instead of $20, you're making about $5 in an hour. Obviously that's no excuse to use any slurs(definitely crossing the line), but if a driver seems annoyed, that's why. there definitely should be some understanding on both sides, but you could be really screwing someone over if you're prioritizing orders made after the one the driver is coming to pick up. I've started to just leave and assign it to someone else though now if the order is 5+ mins late.;

The kicker was that Postmates didn't even have our actual menu...they let customers "suggest" and order items they thought we might have, forcing us servers to get into actual arguments with stressed-out, pissed-off drivers who would show up looking for items we never, ever had on our menu.

[@dragonsrule20201]

@@Sunshineattacks3 the thing that sucks is that it really does screw restaurants over; their system is highly ineffective and allows for absolutely ZERO communication between anyone, but the blame always gets put on us. Despite needing to put in an estimated time of when the food will be done, dashers will show up whenever, usually within 10 minutes, and then get mad at us that the food isn't done. Sometimes the app won't let us mark something out of stock nor call the customer, so if the dasher happens to take a bit we have to wait until they arrive to inform them. And honestly, I hate saying this because I believe in tipping delivery people, but except for about 2 people, every single dasher we've got has been incredibly rude and it sucks slaving over food and drinks only for someone who yelled at us to get the tip and doordash's shitty system takes a high commission. It absolutely sucks :/ My experience mostly comes from Doordash so that's what I can speak on, but I will say that when we occasionally get Grubhub orders, you can actually at least mark things out of stock and the delivery people are usually polite, so I wish that was more frequently used. I don't know how they treat their employees nor do I know the difference in how big of a cut they take, though.

The losses definitely exist. You might question what these companies (and the government) define as a loss, but the companies aren't profiting. They are spending more than their revenue, but that spending is on things that helps them grow (hire more employees, acquire other companies, build infrastructure). This law comes from before the age of BIG business, where businesses stopped growing at a certain point and then started profiting (at which point you can tax them). Good CEO's have realized that they can just grow their company forever and never get burdened by taxes. They aren't doing anything illegal, the losses do exist, and it's got nothing to do with "being hard to prove." It's just a question of what counts as a loss.

[@brideyoboyle25]

My parents are small restaurant owners and we have gotten so many people upset with us because we refuse to use those delivery apps when they tried taking 20%, it got to the point where doordash put us on the app without our permission with an old menu and it just furthered us from ever going on those little hell raisers.

[@bettyg9707]

Oh, 21% yeah, they say for you to sigh up. Then they tell you that it was just a base fee to literally just sign up. If you want to be seen (as in if someone search a general food category, your restaurant will be listed) it goes up to 30 to 40%. Also, as mentioned in the video, people do not call the delivery service for anything! Our food is usually ready in 10 minutes, packed securely in a bag. But we get blamed for late food, cold food, messy food, wrong food and so on. They always demand refund which we can't give cuz we don't even have their info!

Had someone steal an order I was suppose to pick up, but I had no time to wait around because I had to deliver the second order. Called DoorDash and they gave me a penalty and told me if I got another they would suspend my account. ✨

As someone who works in a small bakery with Uber Eats and Door Dash, it’s a pain in the ass how hard it is to keep up with some orders, the menus, and of course Grub Hub and PostMates constantly calling us and asking to order stuff that we no longer carry because they don’t keep menus updated and they keep sending drivers to our door asking for stuff we don’t have and then the poor driver is the one who has to contact the customer because we don’t actually know who ordered it.

[@ava4358]

I work at chipotle which for some reason is doordash's poster child so we get a ton of door dash orders. our online system has no cap for the number of online orders and ive seen us get as many as 115 items to make in 15 minutes. and then the delivery drivers come 10 minutes before their order is due and waste our time making us estimate how long it'll be until its done when we could've been using that time making orders. its insane how entitled they can be. and then customers calling us to say their order wasn't delivered and we have to spend another 5 minutes explaining to them how door dash is a third party company and we have no control over it and they cannot grasp the concept of us being separate companies. one time when I was only 17 a lady screamed at me over the phone saying how I need to control "my" delivery drivers and that we're the ones that are paying their bills so we need to keep a closer eye on them. its really a nightmare

Starbucks used to have a drink called the cool lime refresher that was discontinued a month or two after I was hired there.

[@macibriggs4555]

yeah i work at a restaurant and legit those tablets consistently beep. we are a pizza place and we have our own drivers but we use this to cater to customers outside our delivery zone. uber eats usually doesn’t deliver to neighboring towns so our drivers will be on the road for 45 minutes taking one delivery where they don’t get tipped. not to mention we manage these orders on top of our regular orders and the items the have on their menu usually aren’t like real things. they will put a special sauce on the pizza that’s not a thing or have different names for things we have and then customers get angry. not to mention to amount of times these tablets crash and refuse to print orders. then the drivers come shove their phones in my face while i’m helping customers and start yelling doordash so i have to go find their order and tell them it’s not ready. honestly ik this video was a joke but it was so true 😂😂

My biggest issue with some of these apps is that they’ve also added restaurants without them knowing with WAY outdated info

They did that with my restaurant when the shut down started. I came in to work, some lady outside was waiting on an order. I got a call ordering for like 20 ppl.

[@dragonsrule20201]

Except they absolutely wouldn't take us off their listing even when they said they did, so we tried for months to work with DoorDash to get our menu correct and the communication was just awful.

FYI, lots of places now offer ordering on their own site, but then still outsource the delivery to doordash. Like Wendy's. So when 2 times in a row Wendy's didn't deliver half my order, I found out from the driver that they can't even see the items in the order when you place it through Wendy's. So they can't confirm the items. I then tried to get a refund through Wendy's and....well they just ignored me on all customer service platforms and it was impossible to get a response. So maybe I should have just went to doordash. Except doordash didn't have the $5 biggy bag listed or the customization that the Wendy's app had. The more they try to "advance" the worse things become.

As a Doordash driver, I can confirm that the service fees barely go to us. I don’t think I’ve ever been paid directly by Doordash more than $5, it’s usually around 2-3, so what makes it break an order is tips.. So if you don’t tip, good luck getting someone to go pick up your food.

[@6235river]

How much do you think people should tip on average for doordash drivers? Usually a proper tip is 15%-20% of the total cost, but I'm assuming the numbers might be different since I'm not tipping wait staff, I'm tipping a driver. My default tip is around $3.00 (more if the restaurant is farther away or if it's rush hour) but from reading these comments I'm wondering if my default tip is too low. What amount do you wish people would tip at the very least?

[@nyct0phile]

​@@6235riverim a doordasher. i wish people did 20%, or 5 bucks minimum since thats going the be the majority of what we recieve as payment. I know that's a lot to ask after all the stupid fees. but because the majority of our offers are 2-4 bucks, that means we'll at least be recieving a minimum of 7-9 bucks which is a reasonable amount and often the lowest most of us will take. thanks for asking

[@xinarow6389]

I was a doordash driver, a “dasher”. I worked in Wisconsin during covid and beforehand. It was awful, the worst thing is that doordash doesn’t pay dashers for their time spent waiting for orders. Sometimes I’d be sitting in a restaurant parking lot in winter for an hour waiting for my second order. I feel Dashers should be paid for that because they have to be ready to drive at any moment, and the app displays that they’re on the clock. you also get penalized for declining orders, even if it’s only $4 for an hour delivery. You get penalized for being late, even if it’s the business who was late or really busy. And There are usually too many dashers per diameter and that’s why the available times are so minuscule.

I know not everyone's in a position to do this, but I've taken the option of refusing to use any of these apps. In Australia the issue we've also had is a lot of delivery people are on bicycles, many of them are immigrants/on temporary working visas, and several of them have been killed. And then the company refuses to pay any compensation because they're technically "independent contractors" and not direct employees. I'd rather not feel like somebody literally risked their life to deliver me food.

[@StreakyBaconMan]

I was all with you up until the last sentence. There is literally no way to get food delivered where the delivery person isn't putting their life at risk - all forms of travel are somewhat risky. Car accidents do happen, and even people on foot aren't immune from a traffic accident. One of my old jobs was to ride a bicycle around the CBD with a huge billboard towed behind it, and I had to ride on the roads because there are no bike paths in the CBD - I would have been pretty pissed off if advertisers started telling my boss "well we don't want to use you anymore because what if one of your riders is in an accident and dies?" costing me that job despite the fact my boss was more than reasonable - I was an employee not a contractor, I earned slightly above minimum wage at 18yrs old so I was happy with that, and all the equipment I used was paid for and maintained by my employer rather than myself. That was a pretty good deal for me back then and I am glad I had that job. The main problem I see with food delivery apps and rideshare apps is they do not offer their "contractors" that seem an awful lot like employees adequate compensation for the risks they are expected to take when performing their job. If Uber were to classify their drivers as employees, pay for the cars and maintenance and pay the employees more than minimum wage then I'd be fine with it.

Funny in CA these companies all tried to say that if we started passing laws that required these people be paid fairly and get offered benefits, they'd have to charge us more and add on an extra fee. Then the law didn't pass.... and they added on extra fees anyway. Also I did have to start reassessing this in general. When you talk about treating yourself, yeah, that's good. But only if it's actually a treat. When I saw that getting a "value" mean delivered to me from McDonalds was $30, that wasn't a treat. It was punishment for making a bad food decision, and it discouraged me from getting it.
