#Door dash fees drivers#
And while restaurant owners might like for DoorDash to cut into their profits less, the fact that so many continue to use the service suggests it's still a better deal for them than hiring their own delivery drivers or not doing delivery at all.īut in many places, authorities-always keen to pick winners and losers in the business sphere-answered restaurant owner complaints by capping allowable DoorDash commissions. Pandemic-slammed restaurants-which tended to operate on very thin margins pre-COVID-frequently complain about the commissions DoorDash and its ilk take. For this service, DoorDash and similar apps (like Uber Eats) typically charge a commission to restaurants as well as fees to those getting delivery. The lesson comes courtesy of DoorDash, a food delivery app that soared in popularity among restaurants and consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic.ĭoorDash drivers pick up carryout orders from restaurants and take them to consumers in addition, the DoorDash app serves as a centralized place for consumers to search for restaurants, read their menus, and order food. When city and state regulators artificially cap prices for an in-demand product or service, providers of that product or service will simply recoup costs elsewhere. Across the U.S., authorities are getting a lesson in how government price controls don't work.
DoorDash regulators get a crash course in economics.
