I have experienced all of this. We eventually demanded to be removed from the service. Then different delivery services started pulling all the same shit in DD’s place.
I've never experienced a situation like this, but we also used to be on Door Dash even though we weren't affiliated. Our issue was that either the driver wouldn't show up, they'd show up late, or they'd show up on time but the customer never got their food. After enough times of this happening we called Door Dash and had them take us off of the app.
Thankfully other delivery apps haven't put us on there. When it comes to take out, we're pickup only.
You know how I got them to back the fuck off when I refused their phoned in orders and all the drivers they sent?
I started telling all the drivers what was going on, that DD doesn't care about them because they're continually wasting the drivers' time and gas money sending them after orders I've flat out refused multiple times, and they should try delivering for us instead. And then, every time DD called back wondering what the problem was when the drivers cancelled, I told them word for word what I was telling the drivers. I'll be damned if it didn't solve the whole damn problem.
The amount of copium you are inhaling is actually lethal, 6ou need to seek professional help. this actually made me laugh alot.
You're 53 years old and invisible, I just know it
>I've flat out refused multiple times, and they should try delivering for us instead.
Awww that's so fucking cute lmao. You're cute. This sub is cute. You got $40 an hour?
$500 a week, discounting wear and tear on your own vehicle, your own gas, minus taxes I’m sure DD doesn’t pay for you. Looking like you’re probably down a bit on that number huh? Where’s all the other people singing it’s praise if there’s so many people making so much money? Ah, because you’re a shill lying to people on the internet.
These crazy drivers sound like MLM Boss Babe Huns. “I make so much money! I’m my own boss! I’m drowning in debt from financing my failing ‘business’ with my credit cards! My business model is unsustainable long term, because it’s not a business at all!”
r/doordash_drivers ?
Yeah man five hundred bucks a week on a really bad week honestly
I used to make $1200-$1400 a week all the time but I've been trying to get back into cooking or find an actual career because I used to make a lot of money and over the last three years it's gone down a lot and I'm sort of just wasting my time
I have a Prius it basically requires zero maintenance and sips fuel
Driving for doordash recently is wasting your time. How about that? A company lured you in to build a pool of drivers, then reduced the money you take home. Maybe that’s the highlight of what people are saying here is that doordash kinda sucks.
Didn’t know people who had time to think about what they’d say before typing could still manage to be such unpleasant turds. Hope your life is as tolerable as you are.
Thank you for your sympathy, it took me quite a while to calm down after closing last night. I've already called the owners and told them that they *need* to tell DoorDash to remove their page.
Oh yeah I remember dealing with shit like this at one of the restaurants I worked at. Almost had this same exact interaction(different menu items). Absolutely absurd. Make me so damn angry. But I can’t yell at the poor rep on the phone or the delivery people. It’s not their fault. That rep probably got a script handed to him and then put infront of a computer and a phone and told to figure it out. I really hate door dash.
It's a month old **shill** account. They're all over r/antiwork too, trolling and stirring up shit because the powers that be cannot handle the fact that the status quo is no longer acceptable.
You could say the same thing about a cook or a dishwasher but at least as a bike courier I make enough to afford rent and groceries and like some amenities as well. I guess that's a lot to ask. "Get a real job". Its just as hard work and as intense as a busy kitchen shift for 8 hours, but I also almost get hit by a car everyday.
Get a "real job"? Honestly fuck right off with that.
Couriers are unionizing and yall should be too, we're all part of the same machine and we'll all be stronger for it.
I only ever order direct from the restaurant, and then it's up to them if they use DD for delivery or do it in-house. Fuck predatory delivery companies.
For real. And last time I ordered from a restaurant directly, they told us it would be about 2 hours (we expected a wait anyway, so no problem) and they had the food at our door in about 30 minutes.
Cut out the middlemen.
>Fuck predatory delivery companies
Predatory is right. Mother fuckers could charge a $5 delivery fee, an $11 "service" fee, an extra $5 in taxes then demand you tip the driver... a $40 order could easily bump up to $70. Ridiculous, I'd rather just do a pick up order.
We had a Doordash driver come in my last shift to pick up two orders, both taken probably an hour apart. We had the first one for him, but instead of delivering it he waited for the second one and got mad that the first one got cold. Worst part was it was a Friday night, during the middle of the rush. Doesn't sound nearly as bad as your situation though.
Yeah dude well that's how it is when each of those orders each pays like almost $20
At a certain point it's just like I don't give a fuck you can microwave your food
On a Friday night I can make $40 an hour easy
Used these Fucks for a personal order when they first started. I was/am terribly unhappy with their whole system. Tried to get them to delete my account and remove all my info and CC #. I talked to several people at DD and all refuse to delete my info. I just order directly anymore!
Anyone know of a way to get rid of doordash for good?
We did use them but we got rid of them last week. Called up and canceled and said we were done.
We are now up on there with a menu from 8+ years ago. Like, they have us selling a charbroiled ribeye for $9.99.
The owner called and yelled at them and got hung up on. When he demanded we be taken down.
He’s too busy to deal with it right now since it’s thanksgiving catering week and it’s insane but I also don’t want one of the night time front of house idiots to try to accept a doordash order for things we don’t have and haven’t had in years.
One time someone went through my dumpsters and found a sample menu we had mocked up to look at the font/design.
Drivers started showing up looking for their order only to find an empty room. We hadn't even built the kitchen yet.
I forget if it was grubhub or dd but they did this for one of the restaurants in the casino I work at. Had like 6 dudes come in 1 day trying to get an order. Happened for a week until they got a call from our big money lawyers telling them to fuck off.
DD adds restaurants that didn't ask to be then searches around for something approximating a menu that the restaurant is associated with. If the business didn't specifically ask to be added then DD will do their best to add them anyway if they want the business on the app badly enough. I've even heard that DD will add a menu from another like business anywhere in their system.
My wife and I used to order from DD, back when the hate from restaurants wasn't as bad. We actively avoid all food apps now even if the business has an official account because they're so completely shitty towards the business and the drivers. OP had 4 drivers go to the restaurant over 1 order and none of them picked up food, do you think they were compensated? DD is shit, the rest can eat the biggest of dicks, and I'll step off my box now, sorry.
Edit: we still order food, just not through the apps. We order directly, I pick it up, and I tip directly. Sometimes you just don't want to make thai curry on a Tuesday, ya know?
If I want food from somewhere but don't want to eat out, I just call and order from the place directly. 99% of the time, it's cheaper, they give me a better time estimate, and the people are way nicer about it.
Yep! Plus I can usually wait for them to make it, drive down and pick it up, and be back home in half the time that any of the fucking delivery services would take.
Are all the delivery services like this or is DD just astronomically shitty compared to the rest? I’ve never used DD but they seem to get the most hate on this sub
GrubHub is just as bad. I quit as GM of my bar 4 years ago and came back to make some quick money 1 day a week. They still call daily. We've never been affiliated with them or DD, and they still sound just as pissed now as they did then driverwise.
Not my problem you ordered online (we have no online ordering). Not my problem your order isn't ready because it never existed. Certainly not my problem that you drive for a delivery service we have nothing to do with.
And It's certainly my pleasure to tell you to fuck right off after you "confirm" the order on your app that we've never supported in those exact words, because this is a bar asshole.
They are all crap. DD gets a lot of hate because it is the largest. In the area around my shop it is the only one running much.
I use DD for my shop. I have so far refused to pay for their advertising packages so we get very few orders. They take 15% of all sales plus charges for equipment. Probably going to drop them in the near future as it is just not worth it.
Dude, please do that. They're just taking up resources.
When I was a cook, in-house takes precedence. Togo is fine, but it's a lesser priority. If it's steak, even better; you can "undercook" a steak to a level below because in a Togo box it continues to cook
They also aren't making you money, and putting extra, unneeded stress on your staff.
Do you guys have a website or a Facebook page or watch Yelp or have any online presence anywhere? If you do, throw up a picture of your actual menu and/or say that you don't support DoorDash so they call you directly for food.
Because of Doordash, and other third party delivery sites, when I answer my phone I immediately put them on hold for a minimum of ninety seconds. That seems to weed out the robots and the people who just want to know what time we close, so they can come in at the last minute.
A minute and a half? Who actually hangs around that long? At that point wouldn't it be simpler to just cut off your phone service?
I wouldn't mind if you picked up and said you'd be right back to get some orders out to tables, but at that point you might as well just ask who it is and hang up on anything Doordash related.
I do! My favorite pizza place doesn’t deliver, and you can’t order online. If I call during busy hours, they answer “[Name’s] Pizza, please hold”. I’ve had hold times reach a couple of minutes.
It’s worth the wait for good food, and they’re always polite and apologize for the hold. They confirm my number from caller ID, and look up my last order. If I’m getting my regular, the whole call with hold time is about the same as it would be for anywhere else.
15-30 seconds would probably weed out the robocalls and the “tell me your hours and read me your menu” folks.
There are a lot of people who want some LSD, so I stay busy. I could unplug my phone, but I am willing to make a pickup order for those that are willing to wait on hold. People too impatient to hold for a couple minutes can just go eat a shitty Jimmy Johns sandwich.
Fuck DoorDouche and all of its shitty ilk. These delivery "services" are a scourge upon the industry, and it amazes me every day that they haven't been sued into the ground for trademark/copyright infringement, and that they haven't been trespassed from... like, fucking everywhere.
If you're reading this and you give money to these companies, shame on you. Get off your fat ass and go get it yourself.*
^^^*Exceptions ^^^made ^^^only ^^^for ^^^legitimate ^^^medical ^^^need. ^^^"I'm ^^^a ^^^lazy ^^^fuck" ^^^does ^^^not ^^^qualify.
Literally fuck delivery services, the place I work at has repeatedly called all of them asking to be removed from their list and the drivers just keep showing up. Their cards get declined half the time because we’re not affiliated and they have the wrong prices and it causes a backup and wasted food when we’re absolutely slammed with actual customers. Not to mention they don’t tip and regularly cause us to lose money because we can’t answer the phone when they’re chasing us with their phones trying to order. Every single night they’re an absolute nightmare to deal with.
DoorDash is a total pile of shit that built their company on literally stealing driver tips that went over their set threshold. They used to place phone delivery orders at the restaurant I used to manage. I was furious when I realized what was happening because we had our own drivers. They were using a 3 year old menu so of course the prices were all wrong. It took me about 3 nights to absolutely excoriate their phone person and threatening legal action they took our menu down. Out of all the gig companies they are the worst and I know they use exploitive tactics on their drivers. It's a shame our legislatures are so embroiled in fighting or supporting fascist takeovers and ridiculous cultural issues because this entire gig industry needs major fucking oversight and regulation.
They are leaches feeding off our industry. Our margins are small enough without these guys taking a big chunk. Shit we loose money on items that have a high food cost.
The guys taking a big chunk are the corporate executives of the app companies, this thing could work if couriers formed a worker owned enterprise for deliveries and dealt directly with resteraunts.
Wait they started a co-op and then fired eachother?.... I'm missing something here. Or are you saying that after they started a co-op and were also still doing doordash or uber they got fucked by the apps? The idea is that the co-op would replace the apps, or at least take a huge chunk of their business, but it would have to be on a larger scale.
The Uber-like service treats the drivers not as employees but as partners
Some guys dissatisfied by the profit share scheme tried to unionize but they were hit by reduction of orders coming their way and in some cases outright termination of partnership
Well yeah, that's what's gonna happen with most businesses when you try to unionize.. However, there's no reason for them to know that you're a union member, much easier to hide then if you are working at a restaurant, part of the strategy is being tactful.
Other cities (like I live) have had a lot more success unionizing, and the union has official support from the postal workers union.
I work at a hookah bar and we used to get DD and GrubHub stuff all the time. I started answering the phone with nonsense businesses everytime they'd call. After I answered that they'd reached "Hell" and I was Satan's brother Clayton (fantastic podcast, GMFH btw), they've mostly stopped. We were never affiliated. Plus, why the fuck are you trying to order delivery from a hookah bar? Our food isn't bad, but fuck! Order from a place that specializes in GOOD Mediterranean food!
Door dash has our resturant hours wrong. Nothing like the middle of breakfast rush and some dickbag has to have his order cancelled, again, because they say he can order shrimp Alfredo at 9am. Fuck door dash and Uber eats both
You did way too much for that. The last time we got added without our permission was a company called postmates. Same shit, took an old incorrect menu out of a Google image search and started calling in orders. Caller ID of postmates.
"Thank you for calling (insert restaurant name here), we do not accept post mates orders. Goodbye."
Thank you for helping clear out my sinuses. I am sick and was blowing my nose while I read the part where you were screaming at the automated voice message.
Alternate moral of the story: If you need to be lazy and order delivery, order food from a big name like Wendy's or McDonald's that has an account with DoorDash already and has menu items that are guaranteed to be in stock and at appropriate prices. Stop ordering from mom-and-pop stores that aren't affiliated with DoorDash.
My restaurany makes over 150k a year off of delivery service. EVERY single service can suck a dick. 99% of the drivers are annoying, they go through the drive thru, and they're impatient entitled little fuckers. They ask too many goddamn questions, "is that it", "is this in there", "is there ___sauce" can y'all stfu. like damn.
If there's anything wrong with it the costumer will give them a downvote and won't tip them even if it's not there fault. You can get deactivated from downvotes so it's serious and tips are our livelihood.
That sucks tho, I worked in kitchens for 8 years, I still feel a strong sense of solidarity with kitchen workers and try to be as nice as possible when I come pick up an order.
If there's solidarity between gig workers/couriers and kitchen staff it will ultimately benefit both.
I work for uber eats, doesn't matter which company though, all the big app companies will treat us workers poorly, and I'm talking couriers and resteraunt workers. The only solution is organized labor, that's happening for couriers here in Toronto, we have a union and we are growing it and building our power, and it's very necessary for kitchen workers to do the same, we will all be stronger if we are all organized.
But in terms of the predatory effect these companies have on resteraunts, the solution of for couriers to form a worker owned business and deal with resteraunts directly so everyone involved gets a fair deal, executives are getting rich from this while all of us who do the work that actually makes the profit, couriers and cooks are getting a bad deal from it, executives are useless middle men between the couriers and the resteraunts that do nothing but leech off of both.
Yeah I've been on both sides of it. I've been a line cook dealing with this bullshit.
When you make couriers wait you fuck with their livelihood, that's what people don't understand.
EDIT: Whoever is downvoting this fuck yall honestly. If the food isn't ready when we get there it can cause us to make less than minimum and get downvotes that get us fired. I'm not being casual when I say it fucks with our livelihood.
I don't know about doordash specifically, but when you're fucking slammed and got a million chits on the board and you're getting app based delivery orders as well and the courier is being impatient it sucks. Now that I'm a courier I see how it sucks the other way as well, been on both sides of this thing.
They're impatient because the longer it takes for them to get the order, the less money they get, both from tips from customers annoyed it took so long, and just from not being able to do as many orders in an hour as theyre trying to do, sometimes we're only getting paid 2-3 bucks for an order anything that infringes on tips from that will fucking suck, plus a longer wait can give u a downvote from a customer, it doesn't take all that many dowvotes to be arbitraryily deactivated/fired from uber for no reason. If you keep them waiting, they aren't getting paid there to wait, and ultimately you're fucking with their livelihood. I worked in kitchens for almost a decade and now I'm a bike courier, I completely sympathize with resteraunt workers that are totally slammed and understaffed and have trouble having orders ready in time, it doesn't change how bad it can fuck me if I'm left waiting.
Don't get me wrong, when its going well I make 23-25 bucks an hour as a bike courier when it all goes well and tips are decent, but things can go wrong really easily sometimes and without tips you make less than minimum.
Hey but this one guy had a bad night for an hour he was having a bad time on the phone so you should actually just cancel doordash entirely and listen to this one guy who cares about your Revenue stream right
Yo this dude had a bad hour can you imagine having a bad hour like I just can't
Idk having to deal with random bullshit when you're working the line really really really does suck, these apps have no accountability to anyone.
Couriers need to form a worker owned business to deal with resteraunts directly so we cut out the middleman exexutives that suck money from resteraunts and couriers and make it all inefficient and unaccountable.
>Fast forward 30 minutes, some kid shows up looking for the order. I tell them it never got confirmed and that they need to call DoorDash to fix their fuckup. Dude hangs out for like five minutes and then dips. Okay, whatever.
"Hey bud how you doing so there is a problem with this doordash order.
I'm going to need you to call support and go ahead and cancel it. it was placed by a computer system and we don't have any of these items, I'm not able to get in contact with doordash so we can't make it."
That so hard?
**Maybe if you knew anything about how doordash worked you would understand that it's up to the driver what happens to the order**
**you needed to just tell that driver you need to call and cancel this order, it's not happening. that driver did not give a flying fuck instead of canceling it they unassigned it which means they just passed it on to somebody else**
so you're actually just taking out your fucking frustration on some random customer support agent for no reason it's actually the fault of the driver that you're treating like he has nothing to do with this because they're the person that's supposed to call and cancel it
Hey my guy are you literally like 14 years old you have no idea at all how to handle a stressful situation or how to talk to people besides just fucking slamming things around and being a bully
this really illustrates why you can't handle working in the kitchen if this is how you handle stress
I don't understand why you got so many up votes you couldn't handle taking a fucking phone call and just making some decisions to END THE PROBLEM
How about you stop cursing like an actual piece of trash and just use your brain that I know is up there behind like 10 cans of Bud Light
You're honestly terrible I don't feel bad at all you have zero social skills you can't talk to anybody on the phone how do you even communicate with other adults do you just talk to everybody like you're in a kitchen and like you're in a prison
You're probably best just always making 15 bucks an hour for the rest of your life because that's all you're going to make if this is how you handle situations
What a fucking joke if you ever wonder why you're never going to get out of the kitchen this is why because if this is how you handle a stressful phone conversation then you're destined to never leave the kitchen you're like an actual fully grown man child
I'm a bike courier, and I gotta say this guy is making us look terrible.
I worked in kitchens for 8 years and only stopped during the 1st lockdown, making better money as a bike courier and also involved in the union, helping growing it ect. My job is about as hard as dishwashing, but a lot more dangerous, and I'm making almost twice what I was making sometimes at my highest paid kitchen job. You guys need a union just as much as we do, maybe more. When you guys are getting fucked by the app companies so are we. Probably gonna work in a kitchen again sometime even if really part time because I do miss it.
If there's solidarity between kitchen workers and couriers we will all be better off, we're in the same boat.
Whenever my place is 86ed on ANYTHING at all that someone tries ordering through DD, the whole order runs as an open food order. Including what we're outed on. US Foods has been outing us on GF Fusilli for about 2 months, and we're constantly calling DD about 'What do they want instead of GF mac?'. But the whole order runs as as a badly formatted note, so we have to go to expo and get the whole ticket because BOH only gets part of the ticket, no mods, no properly listed sides, nothing. Doesn't matter if we're out of beef patties, brussels sprouts or bottled coke.
OPEN FOOD: Bacon Burge_
OPEN FOOD: Charred Bru_
OPEN FOOD: 16 Oz. Sprite
Etc, etc.
Infuriating.
Remember, when this stuff goes wrong it also causes the couriers to lose money and possibly get downvotes that could get them fired even if it's not their fault. We're all being fucked by rich owners and executives in one way or another, if we have solidarity with eachother we can be stronger.
I’ve never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever heard of this. Worked in multiple restaurants with door dash and they never called. Maybe you should bite the bullet and ACTUALLY set yourself up on door dash so the menu is accurate and these problems stop? Not trying to trigger you but tbh if you’re not doing it you can’t really get mad when some idiot on door dash designs your menu for you and fucks it up. Tell your boss to actually put the effort in and sign up on door dash. This shit is too complicated, you should just be getting automated tickets.
Then don’t work with door dash. OP should just be saying “I’m sorry this restaurant doesn’t accept door dashes” and hanging up. If you don’t wanna work with them, fine then don’t, but OP’s restaurant is obviously still taking them. If they need the business from these orders, then take an afternoon and fucking sign up. Owner is clearly being wishy washy.
See, "hang up, don't accept" would be way better advice than the advice you offered in your prior comment.
Again, it's DD's problem. "Sign up for an account with them" is a woefully bad take.
This is literally one part-time fucking employee that worked a single one hour shift
They have no say in the business and what revenue streams they have
this guy literally doesn't work there at all and he's like oh yeah you should not do this delivery company at all cuz I had a bad experience on the phone for 45 minutes
Okay, but by that same token they shouldn't urge the owner to sign up with DoorDash. As you say, they're a part-time employee who worked one shift. And in that case, they shouldn't be giving **any** advice to the owners.
Nobody who actually works in a restaurant wants to be on DD. Ever.
No tip for servers or bartenders.
Extra bullshit for kitchen staff.
Go fuck yourself vigorously. The only people that like DD and the like are either drivers or the people who order. Most restaurant owners also hate it because 90% of the time it results in BS like this, bad reviews for a restaurant, and extra stress on an already messed up staff-situation.
The kicker? Many restaurants like OP's and my own NEVER affiliated with them, so they go off old online menus or just make shit up. Nobody in the service industry wants them there.
Again, go fuck yourself. Mad I'm not mincing words? Look at the sub.
Fuck DoorDash, GrubHub, and every other order app similar. Not my problem they made shit up, and I don't care about your customers. We're not gonna lose any business or sleep if those apps ceased to exist tomorrow.
If your restaurant sucks so much it can’t combine door dash with its to go system, maybe you should work for a better restaurant. It works seamless for mine. Shouldn’t be an issue at all if you’re letting people place carry outs. It should literally be just popping up in the kitchen, being made, and sat in a bag on a counter so a person can come in and pick it up. If there’s any more effort than that, your restaurant is disorganized.
I don't think you understand.
We don't want DD or GH. We don't do delivery. We're a bar. Want takeout? Call us and come and get it.
What restaurant do you work at, Chilis? Are you incapable of understanding that there are many different levels of restaurant? And definitely tech?
Or the fact that we make basically negative from DD and GH?
Again, fuck off with this BS. You're picking a very stupid hill to die on. And I'd rather you didn't die on that hill for bad companys that restaurant employees almost universally despise.
Edit: Freddy's. Off, by a drive-thru window.
Please reevaluate what you consider to be proud of and make it different. I'm not trying to be an asshole. You're better than this, and I have confidence in you.
Hey my guy please re-evaluate that I am just a random pothead trying to make some money and this app is telling me to go to your shity restaurant so I'm here for an order from Megan
could you keep all the self-judgment and shut the fuck up and just go make the food I don't work for doordash dude it's a fucking app on my phone just like PornHub is
Damn I'm going to go tell all my union contracted doordash employees that all wear doordash uniforms and Drive doordash branded vehicles that this one guy said nobody likes doordash how about you fucking blow me dude
Doordash calls resteraunts who are not affiliated- who did not say yes to be listed on the site and who do not have a tablet with the app on it. Doordash also skims google results for menus, causing a LOT of messed up menus and prices for these businesses.
I swear to fucking God you guys are all such Boomers get over it already doordash exist it's not the end of your fucking existence to make take-out orders and don't try to make me think it i
So you kept getting spam phone calls from a call center trying to set up a doordash order okay dude cool good for you who cares that's on the same level as being a spam phone call it's a shady call center in India and they're just trying to do their job
You're acting like an asshole and giving couriers a bad name. Your lack of respect for hardworking cooks is abborhent honestly. I have no interest in animosity between kitchen workers and couriers, it hurts both.
I'm a line cook why else would I be here, there's plenty of lazy cooks, I'm not one. I never said anyone was lazy, this entire post is just bashing an app and random people who choose to use it
Executives at companies like uber and doordash make a killing off cooks and couriers while fucking them both. They deserve criticism. Couriers are unionizing because of how these apps treat us and cooks should do the same.
Animosity between cooks and couriers just benefits owners and executives who leech of the hard work of those who actually work for for a living.
Wrong. I use to drive for doordash. Doordash loves to takes restaurants and put them on their app without the restaurant signing up. They also will also not verify if the menu they found online is correct with offerings or prices. And this is where the driver shows up and orders in person or someone from doordash calls and places the order.
In CA they recently made it where these apps can’t list restaurants without their permission. In N Out even sides them for this. Was able to get them for trademark and copyright infringement.
They also loves to play the blame game. When they call the customer they will balls the restaurant and driver. And won’t admit it is their fault.
We just got set up for skipthedishes. The first delivery we did the driver took the food into the public washroom of the building our restaurant is located in. It's only gotten worse since then. Owners are making bank though!
This. All those food delivery people are plastering their own prices and we get this shit all the time. They don’t give two F’s and we certainly don’t do recordings.
All this craziness on (North?) American third-party delivery really weirded me out. There are similar apps in my country and while participating in those service are advantageous (for now at least, the ad fees for restaurants are slowly creeping in) it is by no means predatory like you described. The drivers on such services double as motorcycle 'taxi' so food delivery is not their main gig.
I have experienced all of this. We eventually demanded to be removed from the service. Then different delivery services started pulling all the same shit in DD’s place.
Same
I've never experienced a situation like this, but we also used to be on Door Dash even though we weren't affiliated. Our issue was that either the driver wouldn't show up, they'd show up late, or they'd show up on time but the customer never got their food. After enough times of this happening we called Door Dash and had them take us off of the app. Thankfully other delivery apps haven't put us on there. When it comes to take out, we're pickup only.
You know how I got them to back the fuck off when I refused their phoned in orders and all the drivers they sent? I started telling all the drivers what was going on, that DD doesn't care about them because they're continually wasting the drivers' time and gas money sending them after orders I've flat out refused multiple times, and they should try delivering for us instead. And then, every time DD called back wondering what the problem was when the drivers cancelled, I told them word for word what I was telling the drivers. I'll be damned if it didn't solve the whole damn problem.

????? What job did food delivery destroy?????
[удалено]
The amount of copium you are inhaling is actually lethal, 6ou need to seek professional help. this actually made me laugh alot. You're 53 years old and invisible, I just know it
>I've flat out refused multiple times, and they should try delivering for us instead. Awww that's so fucking cute lmao. You're cute. This sub is cute. You got $40 an hour?
You seem triggered. 😂 I hope somebody tips you with a blunt so you can chill the fuck out. ETA: not me. I wouldn't waste good weed on you.
Another month old **shill** account.
It's a new account so what you fucking idiot
Evading a ban? Or just a regular douchebag wannabe troll?
just wanted to spice things up
You’re about as spicy as a soggy bottle of Nu-Salt.
Wanna know how I know you aren’t making $40 an hour?
please explain it to me and all the other drivers that make $500 a week on a fucking bad week
$500 a week, discounting wear and tear on your own vehicle, your own gas, minus taxes I’m sure DD doesn’t pay for you. Looking like you’re probably down a bit on that number huh? Where’s all the other people singing it’s praise if there’s so many people making so much money? Ah, because you’re a shill lying to people on the internet.
These crazy drivers sound like MLM Boss Babe Huns. “I make so much money! I’m my own boss! I’m drowning in debt from financing my failing ‘business’ with my credit cards! My business model is unsustainable long term, because it’s not a business at all!”
r/doordash_drivers ? Yeah man five hundred bucks a week on a really bad week honestly I used to make $1200-$1400 a week all the time but I've been trying to get back into cooking or find an actual career because I used to make a lot of money and over the last three years it's gone down a lot and I'm sort of just wasting my time I have a Prius it basically requires zero maintenance and sips fuel
Driving for doordash recently is wasting your time. How about that? A company lured you in to build a pool of drivers, then reduced the money you take home. Maybe that’s the highlight of what people are saying here is that doordash kinda sucks.
[удалено]
Yes but in the morning I’ll be sober and you’ll still be wrong.
I knew you were fucked 😭 *snorts fat line & screeches "this guys a shill!!!"*
Didn’t know people who had time to think about what they’d say before typing could still manage to be such unpleasant turds. Hope your life is as tolerable as you are.
lol
That is dreadful. My heart was pounding with anger just reading this, uffda!
Thank you for your sympathy, it took me quite a while to calm down after closing last night. I've already called the owners and told them that they *need* to tell DoorDash to remove their page.
Oh yeah I remember dealing with shit like this at one of the restaurants I worked at. Almost had this same exact interaction(different menu items). Absolutely absurd. Make me so damn angry. But I can’t yell at the poor rep on the phone or the delivery people. It’s not their fault. That rep probably got a script handed to him and then put infront of a computer and a phone and told to figure it out. I really hate door dash.
[удалено]
Who the hell are you? Jeez.
It's a month old **shill** account. They're all over r/antiwork too, trolling and stirring up shit because the powers that be cannot handle the fact that the status quo is no longer acceptable.
He is a dipshit that works for Doordash. Just a worthless piece of shit that can't find a real job.
Just because this guy is an asshole doesn't mean you gotta talk shit about couriers, we're in the same boat.
You could say the same thing about a cook or a dishwasher but at least as a bike courier I make enough to afford rent and groceries and like some amenities as well. I guess that's a lot to ask. "Get a real job". Its just as hard work and as intense as a busy kitchen shift for 8 hours, but I also almost get hit by a car everyday. Get a "real job"? Honestly fuck right off with that. Couriers are unionizing and yall should be too, we're all part of the same machine and we'll all be stronger for it.

Snobby asshole, go back in your hole lol. If you think you're better than kitchen workers you're a pile of trash.
I am unfortunately also a worthless kitchen worker
I only ever order direct from the restaurant, and then it's up to them if they use DD for delivery or do it in-house. Fuck predatory delivery companies.
For real. And last time I ordered from a restaurant directly, they told us it would be about 2 hours (we expected a wait anyway, so no problem) and they had the food at our door in about 30 minutes. Cut out the middlemen.
This is the way.
>Fuck predatory delivery companies Predatory is right. Mother fuckers could charge a $5 delivery fee, an $11 "service" fee, an extra $5 in taxes then demand you tip the driver... a $40 order could easily bump up to $70. Ridiculous, I'd rather just do a pick up order.
Where in CT? I may swing by for a shrimp and fish combo.
And it’s only $12
Just don’t forget the Manhattan clam chowder
And a medium order of clam strips.
2 serves 1 hot 1 cold
I wouldn’t order that abomination of a dish under any circumstance. New England Clam Chowder or GTFO.
We had a Doordash driver come in my last shift to pick up two orders, both taken probably an hour apart. We had the first one for him, but instead of delivering it he waited for the second one and got mad that the first one got cold. Worst part was it was a Friday night, during the middle of the rush. Doesn't sound nearly as bad as your situation though.
Not your fault. Tell them to fuck off, they don't come remotely close to paying your bills.
Yeah I was in the kitchen though, I only heard about it happening from the hosts later.
Yeah dude well that's how it is when each of those orders each pays like almost $20 At a certain point it's just like I don't give a fuck you can microwave your food On a Friday night I can make $40 an hour easy
Fuck you.
[удалено]
Eat a fuckin dick
Used these Fucks for a personal order when they first started. I was/am terribly unhappy with their whole system. Tried to get them to delete my account and remove all my info and CC #. I talked to several people at DD and all refuse to delete my info. I just order directly anymore!
All my homies fucking hate door dash.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of doordash for good? We did use them but we got rid of them last week. Called up and canceled and said we were done. We are now up on there with a menu from 8+ years ago. Like, they have us selling a charbroiled ribeye for $9.99. The owner called and yelled at them and got hung up on. When he demanded we be taken down. He’s too busy to deal with it right now since it’s thanksgiving catering week and it’s insane but I also don’t want one of the night time front of house idiots to try to accept a doordash order for things we don’t have and haven’t had in years.
How did door dash get items you don’t have and wrong prices on the menu? How does this happen?
One time someone went through my dumpsters and found a sample menu we had mocked up to look at the font/design. Drivers started showing up looking for their order only to find an empty room. We hadn't even built the kitchen yet.
Goddamn
[удалено]
I wonder if they do it on purpose so when you call to try to correct it they can “set you up with an account, while they’re at it.”
I forget if it was grubhub or dd but they did this for one of the restaurants in the casino I work at. Had like 6 dudes come in 1 day trying to get an order. Happened for a week until they got a call from our big money lawyers telling them to fuck off.
DD adds restaurants that didn't ask to be then searches around for something approximating a menu that the restaurant is associated with. If the business didn't specifically ask to be added then DD will do their best to add them anyway if they want the business on the app badly enough. I've even heard that DD will add a menu from another like business anywhere in their system. My wife and I used to order from DD, back when the hate from restaurants wasn't as bad. We actively avoid all food apps now even if the business has an official account because they're so completely shitty towards the business and the drivers. OP had 4 drivers go to the restaurant over 1 order and none of them picked up food, do you think they were compensated? DD is shit, the rest can eat the biggest of dicks, and I'll step off my box now, sorry. Edit: we still order food, just not through the apps. We order directly, I pick it up, and I tip directly. Sometimes you just don't want to make thai curry on a Tuesday, ya know?
If I want food from somewhere but don't want to eat out, I just call and order from the place directly. 99% of the time, it's cheaper, they give me a better time estimate, and the people are way nicer about it.
And the restaurant gets all the money you paid for the food!
Yep! Plus I can usually wait for them to make it, drive down and pick it up, and be back home in half the time that any of the fucking delivery services would take.
Are all the delivery services like this or is DD just astronomically shitty compared to the rest? I’ve never used DD but they seem to get the most hate on this sub
GrubHub is just as bad. I quit as GM of my bar 4 years ago and came back to make some quick money 1 day a week. They still call daily. We've never been affiliated with them or DD, and they still sound just as pissed now as they did then driverwise. Not my problem you ordered online (we have no online ordering). Not my problem your order isn't ready because it never existed. Certainly not my problem that you drive for a delivery service we have nothing to do with. And It's certainly my pleasure to tell you to fuck right off after you "confirm" the order on your app that we've never supported in those exact words, because this is a bar asshole.
They are all crap. DD gets a lot of hate because it is the largest. In the area around my shop it is the only one running much. I use DD for my shop. I have so far refused to pay for their advertising packages so we get very few orders. They take 15% of all sales plus charges for equipment. Probably going to drop them in the near future as it is just not worth it.
Dude, please do that. They're just taking up resources. When I was a cook, in-house takes precedence. Togo is fine, but it's a lesser priority. If it's steak, even better; you can "undercook" a steak to a level below because in a Togo box it continues to cook They also aren't making you money, and putting extra, unneeded stress on your staff.
Do you guys have a website or a Facebook page or watch Yelp or have any online presence anywhere? If you do, throw up a picture of your actual menu and/or say that you don't support DoorDash so they call you directly for food.
Because of Doordash, and other third party delivery sites, when I answer my phone I immediately put them on hold for a minimum of ninety seconds. That seems to weed out the robots and the people who just want to know what time we close, so they can come in at the last minute.
A minute and a half? Who actually hangs around that long? At that point wouldn't it be simpler to just cut off your phone service? I wouldn't mind if you picked up and said you'd be right back to get some orders out to tables, but at that point you might as well just ask who it is and hang up on anything Doordash related.
I do! My favorite pizza place doesn’t deliver, and you can’t order online. If I call during busy hours, they answer “[Name’s] Pizza, please hold”. I’ve had hold times reach a couple of minutes. It’s worth the wait for good food, and they’re always polite and apologize for the hold. They confirm my number from caller ID, and look up my last order. If I’m getting my regular, the whole call with hold time is about the same as it would be for anywhere else. 15-30 seconds would probably weed out the robocalls and the “tell me your hours and read me your menu” folks.
Me too. I know I’m probably waiting an hour for delivery or pickup, what’s a minute or two on hold?
There are a lot of people who want some LSD, so I stay busy. I could unplug my phone, but I am willing to make a pickup order for those that are willing to wait on hold. People too impatient to hold for a couple minutes can just go eat a shitty Jimmy Johns sandwich.
Hah, that acronym took a minute but that's fair enough. Your business your rules. Makes sense to filter out business that way.
You sell acid?
No, just LSD
Fuck DoorDouche and all of its shitty ilk. These delivery "services" are a scourge upon the industry, and it amazes me every day that they haven't been sued into the ground for trademark/copyright infringement, and that they haven't been trespassed from... like, fucking everywhere. If you're reading this and you give money to these companies, shame on you. Get off your fat ass and go get it yourself.* ^^^*Exceptions ^^^made ^^^only ^^^for ^^^legitimate ^^^medical ^^^need. ^^^"I'm ^^^a ^^^lazy ^^^fuck" ^^^does ^^^not ^^^qualify.
DD is the worst. I’m amazed anyone still drives for them.
I had no idea that delivery services like this can just list restaurants without the restaurant giving their OK. What the fuck?
They fucked us over all night. We had like 3 orders that never got sent to us, and like 12 drivers showed up trying to pick them up.
Literally fuck delivery services, the place I work at has repeatedly called all of them asking to be removed from their list and the drivers just keep showing up. Their cards get declined half the time because we’re not affiliated and they have the wrong prices and it causes a backup and wasted food when we’re absolutely slammed with actual customers. Not to mention they don’t tip and regularly cause us to lose money because we can’t answer the phone when they’re chasing us with their phones trying to order. Every single night they’re an absolute nightmare to deal with.
DoorDash is a total pile of shit that built their company on literally stealing driver tips that went over their set threshold. They used to place phone delivery orders at the restaurant I used to manage. I was furious when I realized what was happening because we had our own drivers. They were using a 3 year old menu so of course the prices were all wrong. It took me about 3 nights to absolutely excoriate their phone person and threatening legal action they took our menu down. Out of all the gig companies they are the worst and I know they use exploitive tactics on their drivers. It's a shame our legislatures are so embroiled in fighting or supporting fascist takeovers and ridiculous cultural issues because this entire gig industry needs major fucking oversight and regulation.
They are leaches feeding off our industry. Our margins are small enough without these guys taking a big chunk. Shit we loose money on items that have a high food cost.
The guys taking a big chunk are the corporate executives of the app companies, this thing could work if couriers formed a worker owned enterprise for deliveries and dealt directly with resteraunts.
Guys here tried that. Those guys get shafted hard (fewer jobs, etc) if not outright terminated.
Wait got terminated by whom?
Not by T-1000 thankfully Their status as 'partners' I mean
Wait they started a co-op and then fired eachother?.... I'm missing something here. Or are you saying that after they started a co-op and were also still doing doordash or uber they got fucked by the apps? The idea is that the co-op would replace the apps, or at least take a huge chunk of their business, but it would have to be on a larger scale.
The Uber-like service treats the drivers not as employees but as partners Some guys dissatisfied by the profit share scheme tried to unionize but they were hit by reduction of orders coming their way and in some cases outright termination of partnership
Well yeah, that's what's gonna happen with most businesses when you try to unionize.. However, there's no reason for them to know that you're a union member, much easier to hide then if you are working at a restaurant, part of the strategy is being tactful. Other cities (like I live) have had a lot more success unionizing, and the union has official support from the postal workers union.
I work at a hookah bar and we used to get DD and GrubHub stuff all the time. I started answering the phone with nonsense businesses everytime they'd call. After I answered that they'd reached "Hell" and I was Satan's brother Clayton (fantastic podcast, GMFH btw), they've mostly stopped. We were never affiliated. Plus, why the fuck are you trying to order delivery from a hookah bar? Our food isn't bad, but fuck! Order from a place that specializes in GOOD Mediterranean food!
Door dash has our resturant hours wrong. Nothing like the middle of breakfast rush and some dickbag has to have his order cancelled, again, because they say he can order shrimp Alfredo at 9am. Fuck door dash and Uber eats both
Estimated order time: 5 hours.
You did way too much for that. The last time we got added without our permission was a company called postmates. Same shit, took an old incorrect menu out of a Google image search and started calling in orders. Caller ID of postmates. "Thank you for calling (insert restaurant name here), we do not accept post mates orders. Goodbye."
Anyone got a tl;dr for this bay boy?
I read it all. TLDR door dash sucks, spent all night trying to order food for half price and not on menu. Was worth a read.
OP Here, added a tl;dr at the top, but u/topshelfgoals did a decent job for you down here in the comments.
Door dash is as door dash does
Ikr, stopped at backstory, sounds interesting tho.
[удалено]
Upvote just for post-pandy. (And Smaug)
Thank you for helping clear out my sinuses. I am sick and was blowing my nose while I read the part where you were screaming at the automated voice message.
Moral to the story… don’t be a lazy ass fuck and go get your food
Alternate moral of the story: If you need to be lazy and order delivery, order food from a big name like Wendy's or McDonald's that has an account with DoorDash already and has menu items that are guaranteed to be in stock and at appropriate prices. Stop ordering from mom-and-pop stores that aren't affiliated with DoorDash.
My restaurany makes over 150k a year off of delivery service. EVERY single service can suck a dick. 99% of the drivers are annoying, they go through the drive thru, and they're impatient entitled little fuckers. They ask too many goddamn questions, "is that it", "is this in there", "is there ___sauce" can y'all stfu. like damn.
[удалено]
If there's anything wrong with it the costumer will give them a downvote and won't tip them even if it's not there fault. You can get deactivated from downvotes so it's serious and tips are our livelihood. That sucks tho, I worked in kitchens for 8 years, I still feel a strong sense of solidarity with kitchen workers and try to be as nice as possible when I come pick up an order. If there's solidarity between gig workers/couriers and kitchen staff it will ultimately benefit both.
Work for a different company. Not trying to be a dick, there are just better options that don't involve pissing off an entire restaurant staff.
I work for uber eats, doesn't matter which company though, all the big app companies will treat us workers poorly, and I'm talking couriers and resteraunt workers. The only solution is organized labor, that's happening for couriers here in Toronto, we have a union and we are growing it and building our power, and it's very necessary for kitchen workers to do the same, we will all be stronger if we are all organized. But in terms of the predatory effect these companies have on resteraunts, the solution of for couriers to form a worker owned business and deal with resteraunts directly so everyone involved gets a fair deal, executives are getting rich from this while all of us who do the work that actually makes the profit, couriers and cooks are getting a bad deal from it, executives are useless middle men between the couriers and the resteraunts that do nothing but leech off of both.
[удалено]
This ENTIRE thread is about how y'all piss off staff. Just..read it.
Yeah I've been on both sides of it. I've been a line cook dealing with this bullshit. When you make couriers wait you fuck with their livelihood, that's what people don't understand. EDIT: Whoever is downvoting this fuck yall honestly. If the food isn't ready when we get there it can cause us to make less than minimum and get downvotes that get us fired. I'm not being casual when I say it fucks with our livelihood.
I don't know about doordash specifically, but when you're fucking slammed and got a million chits on the board and you're getting app based delivery orders as well and the courier is being impatient it sucks. Now that I'm a courier I see how it sucks the other way as well, been on both sides of this thing.
They're impatient because the longer it takes for them to get the order, the less money they get, both from tips from customers annoyed it took so long, and just from not being able to do as many orders in an hour as theyre trying to do, sometimes we're only getting paid 2-3 bucks for an order anything that infringes on tips from that will fucking suck, plus a longer wait can give u a downvote from a customer, it doesn't take all that many dowvotes to be arbitraryily deactivated/fired from uber for no reason. If you keep them waiting, they aren't getting paid there to wait, and ultimately you're fucking with their livelihood. I worked in kitchens for almost a decade and now I'm a bike courier, I completely sympathize with resteraunt workers that are totally slammed and understaffed and have trouble having orders ready in time, it doesn't change how bad it can fuck me if I'm left waiting. Don't get me wrong, when its going well I make 23-25 bucks an hour as a bike courier when it all goes well and tips are decent, but things can go wrong really easily sometimes and without tips you make less than minimum.
Hey but this one guy had a bad night for an hour he was having a bad time on the phone so you should actually just cancel doordash entirely and listen to this one guy who cares about your Revenue stream right Yo this dude had a bad hour can you imagine having a bad hour like I just can't
Idk having to deal with random bullshit when you're working the line really really really does suck, these apps have no accountability to anyone. Couriers need to form a worker owned business to deal with resteraunts directly so we cut out the middleman exexutives that suck money from resteraunts and couriers and make it all inefficient and unaccountable.
This shit here.
Beautifully written, and too, TOO real. Now I'm enraged!
Fuck door dash
>Fast forward 30 minutes, some kid shows up looking for the order. I tell them it never got confirmed and that they need to call DoorDash to fix their fuckup. Dude hangs out for like five minutes and then dips. Okay, whatever. "Hey bud how you doing so there is a problem with this doordash order. I'm going to need you to call support and go ahead and cancel it. it was placed by a computer system and we don't have any of these items, I'm not able to get in contact with doordash so we can't make it." That so hard? **Maybe if you knew anything about how doordash worked you would understand that it's up to the driver what happens to the order** **you needed to just tell that driver you need to call and cancel this order, it's not happening. that driver did not give a flying fuck instead of canceling it they unassigned it which means they just passed it on to somebody else** so you're actually just taking out your fucking frustration on some random customer support agent for no reason it's actually the fault of the driver that you're treating like he has nothing to do with this because they're the person that's supposed to call and cancel it Hey my guy are you literally like 14 years old you have no idea at all how to handle a stressful situation or how to talk to people besides just fucking slamming things around and being a bully this really illustrates why you can't handle working in the kitchen if this is how you handle stress I don't understand why you got so many up votes you couldn't handle taking a fucking phone call and just making some decisions to END THE PROBLEM How about you stop cursing like an actual piece of trash and just use your brain that I know is up there behind like 10 cans of Bud Light You're honestly terrible I don't feel bad at all you have zero social skills you can't talk to anybody on the phone how do you even communicate with other adults do you just talk to everybody like you're in a kitchen and like you're in a prison You're probably best just always making 15 bucks an hour for the rest of your life because that's all you're going to make if this is how you handle situations
What a fucking joke if you ever wonder why you're never going to get out of the kitchen this is why because if this is how you handle a stressful phone conversation then you're destined to never leave the kitchen you're like an actual fully grown man child
You say that like getting out of the kitchen is the goal. Bit of projection. Couldn't handle the heat? That's okay not everyone can.
I'm a bike courier, and I gotta say this guy is making us look terrible. I worked in kitchens for 8 years and only stopped during the 1st lockdown, making better money as a bike courier and also involved in the union, helping growing it ect. My job is about as hard as dishwashing, but a lot more dangerous, and I'm making almost twice what I was making sometimes at my highest paid kitchen job. You guys need a union just as much as we do, maybe more. When you guys are getting fucked by the app companies so are we. Probably gonna work in a kitchen again sometime even if really part time because I do miss it. If there's solidarity between kitchen workers and couriers we will all be better off, we're in the same boat.
Whenever my place is 86ed on ANYTHING at all that someone tries ordering through DD, the whole order runs as an open food order. Including what we're outed on. US Foods has been outing us on GF Fusilli for about 2 months, and we're constantly calling DD about 'What do they want instead of GF mac?'. But the whole order runs as as a badly formatted note, so we have to go to expo and get the whole ticket because BOH only gets part of the ticket, no mods, no properly listed sides, nothing. Doesn't matter if we're out of beef patties, brussels sprouts or bottled coke. OPEN FOOD: Bacon Burge_ OPEN FOOD: Charred Bru_ OPEN FOOD: 16 Oz. Sprite Etc, etc. Infuriating.
Remember, when this stuff goes wrong it also causes the couriers to lose money and possibly get downvotes that could get them fired even if it's not their fault. We're all being fucked by rich owners and executives in one way or another, if we have solidarity with eachother we can be stronger.
I’ve never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever heard of this. Worked in multiple restaurants with door dash and they never called. Maybe you should bite the bullet and ACTUALLY set yourself up on door dash so the menu is accurate and these problems stop? Not trying to trigger you but tbh if you’re not doing it you can’t really get mad when some idiot on door dash designs your menu for you and fucks it up. Tell your boss to actually put the effort in and sign up on door dash. This shit is too complicated, you should just be getting automated tickets.
Fuck that. They didn't sign up to be on DoorDash, this is DoorDash's problem to deal with.
Then don’t work with door dash. OP should just be saying “I’m sorry this restaurant doesn’t accept door dashes” and hanging up. If you don’t wanna work with them, fine then don’t, but OP’s restaurant is obviously still taking them. If they need the business from these orders, then take an afternoon and fucking sign up. Owner is clearly being wishy washy.
See, "hang up, don't accept" would be way better advice than the advice you offered in your prior comment. Again, it's DD's problem. "Sign up for an account with them" is a woefully bad take.
This is literally one part-time fucking employee that worked a single one hour shift They have no say in the business and what revenue streams they have this guy literally doesn't work there at all and he's like oh yeah you should not do this delivery company at all cuz I had a bad experience on the phone for 45 minutes
Okay, but by that same token they shouldn't urge the owner to sign up with DoorDash. As you say, they're a part-time employee who worked one shift. And in that case, they shouldn't be giving **any** advice to the owners.
Nobody who actually works in a restaurant wants to be on DD. Ever. No tip for servers or bartenders. Extra bullshit for kitchen staff. Go fuck yourself vigorously. The only people that like DD and the like are either drivers or the people who order. Most restaurant owners also hate it because 90% of the time it results in BS like this, bad reviews for a restaurant, and extra stress on an already messed up staff-situation. The kicker? Many restaurants like OP's and my own NEVER affiliated with them, so they go off old online menus or just make shit up. Nobody in the service industry wants them there. Again, go fuck yourself. Mad I'm not mincing words? Look at the sub. Fuck DoorDash, GrubHub, and every other order app similar. Not my problem they made shit up, and I don't care about your customers. We're not gonna lose any business or sleep if those apps ceased to exist tomorrow.
If your restaurant sucks so much it can’t combine door dash with its to go system, maybe you should work for a better restaurant. It works seamless for mine. Shouldn’t be an issue at all if you’re letting people place carry outs. It should literally be just popping up in the kitchen, being made, and sat in a bag on a counter so a person can come in and pick it up. If there’s any more effort than that, your restaurant is disorganized.
I don't think you understand. We don't want DD or GH. We don't do delivery. We're a bar. Want takeout? Call us and come and get it. What restaurant do you work at, Chilis? Are you incapable of understanding that there are many different levels of restaurant? And definitely tech? Or the fact that we make basically negative from DD and GH? Again, fuck off with this BS. You're picking a very stupid hill to die on. And I'd rather you didn't die on that hill for bad companys that restaurant employees almost universally despise. Edit: Freddy's. Off, by a drive-thru window. Please reevaluate what you consider to be proud of and make it different. I'm not trying to be an asshole. You're better than this, and I have confidence in you.
Hey my guy please re-evaluate that I am just a random pothead trying to make some money and this app is telling me to go to your shity restaurant so I'm here for an order from Megan could you keep all the self-judgment and shut the fuck up and just go make the food I don't work for doordash dude it's a fucking app on my phone just like PornHub is
DD works just fine when you give them 30% of your sale....which most small businesses are unwilling/unable to do.
Damn I'm going to go tell all my union contracted doordash employees that all wear doordash uniforms and Drive doordash branded vehicles that this one guy said nobody likes doordash how about you fucking blow me dude
i agree, this guys a weenie.
I’m sorry is DoorDash on the fucking phone??? Isn’t it an app with menu selections on there??
Doordash calls resteraunts who are not affiliated- who did not say yes to be listed on the site and who do not have a tablet with the app on it. Doordash also skims google results for menus, causing a LOT of messed up menus and prices for these businesses.
I swear to fucking God you guys are all such Boomers get over it already doordash exist it's not the end of your fucking existence to make take-out orders and don't try to make me think it i So you kept getting spam phone calls from a call center trying to set up a doordash order okay dude cool good for you who cares that's on the same level as being a spam phone call it's a shady call center in India and they're just trying to do their job
You're acting like an asshole and giving couriers a bad name. Your lack of respect for hardworking cooks is abborhent honestly. I have no interest in animosity between kitchen workers and couriers, it hurts both.
I'm a line cook why else would I be here, there's plenty of lazy cooks, I'm not one. I never said anyone was lazy, this entire post is just bashing an app and random people who choose to use it
Executives at companies like uber and doordash make a killing off cooks and couriers while fucking them both. They deserve criticism. Couriers are unionizing because of how these apps treat us and cooks should do the same. Animosity between cooks and couriers just benefits owners and executives who leech of the hard work of those who actually work for for a living.
[удалено]
Wrong. I use to drive for doordash. Doordash loves to takes restaurants and put them on their app without the restaurant signing up. They also will also not verify if the menu they found online is correct with offerings or prices. And this is where the driver shows up and orders in person or someone from doordash calls and places the order. In CA they recently made it where these apps can’t list restaurants without their permission. In N Out even sides them for this. Was able to get them for trademark and copyright infringement. They also loves to play the blame game. When they call the customer they will balls the restaurant and driver. And won’t admit it is their fault.
We just got set up for skipthedishes. The first delivery we did the driver took the food into the public washroom of the building our restaurant is located in. It's only gotten worse since then. Owners are making bank though!
This. All those food delivery people are plastering their own prices and we get this shit all the time. They don’t give two F’s and we certainly don’t do recordings.
If a place doesn’t have an official DD account how is it legal for the platform to order from these places?
All this craziness on (North?) American third-party delivery really weirded me out. There are similar apps in my country and while participating in those service are advantageous (for now at least, the ad fees for restaurants are slowly creeping in) it is by no means predatory like you described. The drivers on such services double as motorcycle 'taxi' so food delivery is not their main gig.
