Then what do the $X flat delivery + X% "to keep DoorDash running" fees pay for?
It feels like DoorDash is double dipping if it's simply to pay for the delivery and customer service.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoThe delivery service is a totally separate expense from developers, AWS, marketing, etc
- dave5104 7y agoYes, which is presumably what the X% service fee goes towards. Every order made on the platform assesses a fee ("Taxes and Fees" line item) to the consumer that goes to DoorDash (not your delivery driver), on top of charging the restaurant a 30% fee. I'm looking now, and I'm being charged a 5% service fee for an order on DoorDash. So DoorDash is charging 35% in fees on that order, assuming the 30% restaurant fee is correct.
