I order food from DoorDash a few times a week. Everyonce in a while, I get a promo from Uber Eats and decide to try it out. Always a terrible experience. DoorDash is crushing Uber Eats. The delivery from doordash is always on time, and the food is usually as the driver picked it up. Most of the time from Uber Eats the food shows up half open.
Also, theres nothing revolutionary about a CEO evaluating their own product
- JumpCrisscross 3y agoThese anecdotes vary, as one would expect, by geography.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 3y agoNot really, I order enough and have for years that I have a huge sample size (100+ orders across NYC and socal)

- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> 100+ orders across NYC and socal I can say the same for each of New York, the Bay Area and other cities. DoorDash sucks in some markets. (Uber Eats is roughly on par with them in central Manhattan, though the quality falls off quickly as you go north of 59th or ask them to tote something more than a few blocks.) DoorDash really got into gear, in Manhattan, by acquiring Caviar. Unfortunately, that also involved the latter’s standards falling precipitously.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI live in SoCal and I have literally never had an order arrive open. They're usually sealed with tape. I don't have as many orders as you, but if it's that common I should've ran into it at least once by now
- vel0city 3y agoIt's always over 100F in the summer everywhere. I've checked every day for the past two months all over Dallas. NYC and SoCal isn't the whole country.
- diogenescynic 3y agoI've been in an UberPool where there was an Uber Eats order on the floor... it's definitely not the app I'd use to order food.
- alphabettsy 3y agoCan you elaborate on what the issue is?
- JumpCrisscross 3y agoPresumably, you want your food fast and with minimal interaction with non-professional strangers. Pool optimises for neither of those.
- alphabettsy 3y agoInteresting. The last time I used DoorDash I received an order from a completely different restaurant and had to jump through hoops. Eventually just ordering from the restaurant directly and picking it up while wait for a refund in a few days. I’ve used them both enough to see no difference.
- geraldwhen 3y agoDoordash has abandoned my orders and delivered food hours late. Hours. Uber eats has never once had that issue in my area.
