How Does DoorDash Work?
DoorDash is a unified web interface that allows you to order an array of menu items from local restaurants. The company can make door-to-door deliveries from most restaurants that offer take-out. After you place an order, a “Dasher” picks it up and delivers it to your door.
Who Are Dashers?
Dashers are the contract workers who deliver for DoorDash. They use their vehicles to make deliveries, much like Uber or Lyft, except for food (like Uber Eats). You can sign up to be a Dasher on the DoorDash website. They’ll review your application, and if you’re approved, you can start accepting orders via the Dasher app.
Enter a specific food, type of food, or restaurant’s name in the Search bar in the upper-right corner.Select a food category in the top horizontal menu.Scroll down and select See All next to a category. A few categories are: Fastest Near You, National Favorites, Celebrate Holiday, Special Offers, and Convenience and Grocery.Select a restaurant displayed on the screen.
The restaurant’s menu is broken down into categories with links for easy navigation. The top sections feature the most popular items. Scroll through your restaurant’s menu and choose the items you want to order. Select Credit/Debit Card or PayPal to enter payment details; you can save the card to your account for later use. If you have a promotion code, select Add Promo Code and enter the code. Dashers are paid by customer tips and DoorDash. Being a Dasher is a decent side gig or part-time job since they can set their schedules and choose which deliveries to accept.
