fukk these food delivery services I tell these goofballs to leave my food at the door because of Covid. These fools still stand at my door at my door ringing for 5 minutes. What part of leave at the door you don’t understand. I’m not giving you a extra tip.:mjtf:

Bruh they aint stupid. Soon as they leave it at the door 5 minutes later the restaurant gets a call saying they didn't receive their food.

Because they focus on gaining market share at all cost by providing services below cost (eating into their cash reserves), with the hope that once the competition is eliminated, or their market share is substantial enough, or automated driving comes in and eliminates the need to pay drivers, they can recoup their money.

It's a fukked up business model. The same with UberEats and all these fukkers. All fugazi.

The truth of the matter is that if you pay the driver fair compensation for their time and mileage, it's really expensive to order food in. They been subsidizing it for you which is why you haven't noticed. But if the true cost of ordering in was felt a lot of people would simply pick that bytch up themselves or cook.

Ditto for Uber but that's another story :unimpressed:
I’ve never used a food delivery app. I haven’t had my food delivered in like 10 years.

The Truth
I use door dash the most...

I also try to use anything with little to no delivery fee.

I haven’t tried uber eats in awhile but I used to use them a lot back in the day

I never ever tried Postmates and never will... more over priced than doordash apparently and hardly any variety or even pictures in any area I’ve lived in

Let's be reality Post Mates pays its drivers more than Uber Eats or Doordash but as a consumer, I bought into Doordash's subcription and ordering twice a month it basically pays for it self.

This is wrong. Postmates pays just about the same, and with less tips on there, I refuse to drive for them. I use DoorDash heavy, and UberEats now and then.

Postmates doesnt show their tips up front for the drivers, so they dont give a fukk about your food. On DoorDash or UberEats, you tip good, and cats will get the food to your crib fast.

Yes, they can. They can see a reasonable guess of what the tip was added to the order. We can tell if you didnt add one at all, or if its in the $3-$5 area. So if your DoorDash order isnt getting picked up quick, most likely they know you aint tipping (or tipping enough). With DoorDash, the driver has the option to decline if the pay is low, and believe me, if you aint tipping, im not picking up that food.

UberEats is the same way. Just about a month ago (at least in my area) they started showing the amount with tip up front.

Just a fair warning if you decide to not tip for the driver to get your food. The healthier the tip, the faster that food will get to you.

@JadeB what market are you in?



They lose money by not paying enough and ending up having to pay more. They gotta offer bonuses and incentives to get people to deliver. Postmates doesn't do it but Uber Eats shows expected payout with tips. Plenty of $3 orders that nobody wants to take cuz of such a low price. Then they end up having to offer more and lose money on their end. They get a portion of the cost and then they give their drivers some of that. This is especially true on McDonalds orders. That's like the most popular restaurant people order from. And it's also the slowest wait especially late at night when there aren't many people working there and the drive thru is slow. I dealt with that last night. So the more drivers that reject the delivery the longer the order waits and they gotta increase the pay or risk nobody delivering the food.

the only time I used a food delivery service are when I was driving trucks over the road. Unnecessary if you have a vehicle.
