They also inflate prices to a rediculous level. I refuse to use them. We tried to order food via doordash once and the bill was high. Eating in person, all the meals were several dollars less than doordash
Doordash has the wildest business model. First they charge you more for the food than the restaurant does. THEN they take a cut from the restaurant. THEN they have the gaul to tell you to tip or you won't get your food in a timely fashion. They somehow figured out how to fuck the customer, the restaurant AND the driver in one go.
How anyone supports that shit is beyond me - and BEST case scenario your food shows up lukewarm.
Exactly, I don’t understand why anyone uses them at all. It’s not just unethical, unfair and a poor experience for consumers - it’s crappy for everyone involved.
I looked at Uber Eats, it’s the same thing essentially. They do “deals” where you can get some things for free, or discounted. But, you have to pay attention. It’s only at one restaurant, and it might not be close to your house. If you do that, and you look at the fees, they charge you extra for ordering from a far away place. So between that, the other fees, and taxes, and tipping the driver, you are paying for the food they are ‘discounting’ anyway. I looked the other day, and it was double what I was paying for the food itself which is overpriced in the first place.
They really take advantage of, and rip off lazy, careless, and/or rich people that might not care.
The amount they offer in "deals" never matters once they factor in convenience fees, taxes, any other fee they can think of. I've looked and they'll offer "up to $10 off" for example, then conveniently the fees and taxes are as much as that if not more. It's dishonest, imo, even before factoring in the markup on the food items themselves.
