I just cancelled my membership (was free with a credit card i already had).
They offered a "free membership" for 10 months "at a $120 value" (which used to be $60 a year), however I couldn't figure out how to activate it.
I can't figure out what the value is over other services/direct from restaurant. Like another poster, most of the suggestions were bad. "Do you want dairy queen?" Or "quick you can order free from Kwik Trip in the next 10 minutes".
The post makes the suggestions look good. My top recommendation is the cheesecake factory. Followed by McDonalds.
Who are they targeting? Who is getting McDonalds delivered?
- decremental 5y agoI get McDonald's delivered all the time. Can't beat 13 minute delivery for coffee in the morning.
- woodruffw 5y agoDo you order anything besides coffee? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would you wait 13 minutes for someone to drop off $1 of distinctly average coffee? (I say this as someone who has ordered McDonald's through DoorDash before.)
- dfsegoat 5y agoIt's a $12 minimum order where I am anyway. So you pay $12 whether you have $12 of items or not. So, I am guessing GP has a couple egg-mcmuffins in there somewhere.
- decremental 5y agoYep. I get egg mcmuffins with my distinctly average coffee.
- vorpalhex 5y agoMy coffee routine only takes 8 mins from whole beans to v60 pour over, most of that the kettle warming.
- afavour 5y agoHow many minutes of active work, though? Presumably OPs 13 minute wait time involves about 30 seconds of work and 12 1/2 minutes of doing whatever they feel like. (in any case let’s be honest, you’re both optimising for very different parameters. Which is fine!)
- samcheng 5y ago... with MUCH better-tasting coffee than e.g. McDonald's as a bonus!
- dangrossman 5y agoI get McDonalds delivered. Why not?
- withinboredom 5y agoWe get McDonalds delivered all the time. We don’t have a car.
- iratewizard 5y agoOne of my wife's assistants likes McDonald's. A weekly reward for no products breaking in shopping when she does packaging is lunch. The cost of having McDonald's delivered is far less than the opportunity cost for her to pick it up (and obviously for us too).
- jorblumesea 5y agoMcDonalds is one of the most popular restaurants in all of America. Forget DD, probably 10% of America orders McDonald's every day. It's not that surprising. It probably keeps pretty well during delivery because it's designed to be under a warmer for long periods of time.
