DoorDash Restaurant Food 15% Off If You Pickup Instead

Just used it love their map view of what?s around

I use Doordash for delivery but never ever would I consider using their service for pickup. They create overhead and upcharge for their service. Okay if I don't have to leave my house but if I'm doing pickup I'm calling the restaurant's telephone directly and paying their real price for the menu.

It?s just a marketing strategy to get people to download DoorDash that don?t already use it.

This is a deal, you just have to use it right. If you get $5 off a $10 min purchase thats pretty good. Can pick up a decent burger and fries for $5. Also if you have a party of 4, say order for each family member you can get a good dinner for 20 bucks.

IQ test.

This just seems like take-out or drive-thru with extra steps...

NOT A DEAL: Prices off DoorDash menu are much higher than direct from restaurant. If you're picking it up anyways, ordering directly from restaurant is cheaper in many cases.

Wait. So say the total is $10, but I use a $5 off coupon.

That's $5 out of my pocket
Restaurant needs to pay up to 30% so that's $3 they get back from the restaurant

I think Doordash still loses $2 on this transaction. They're counting on the customer to spend more though. That's where they win.

Doordash charges the ordering customer for the membership, plus a per-order charge for delivery, and tries to get the customer to pay an additional tip. Then Doordash charges the partner restaurant up to 30% of the order. Since Doordash is not providing delivery with this pickup option, they are getting a good chunk of money from both the ordering customer and the partner restaurant, while doing ZERO work other than hosting a website and processing payments. It is a great business model from their POV.

Wrong Holiday It's Father's day not April Fools.

Emma what else do you do in your spare time?

You guys dont get it...YOU dash to the restaurant's door.

may as well give me a door dash t shirt so I can look like one of those clowns picking up the food.

This is actually a really good April fools day joke but I don't think it is meant to be one.

lolwut?

Picking up the food yourself has a name. It?s called Takeout.
What am I missing?

??? A food 'delivery' service that wants me to drive to the restaurant. What a business plan.

Can I get an even bigger discount if I cook it myself?

If I am going to pickup the food myself why would I even use DoorDash?

they are paying you to NOT use their service? wow.
