Ordered from a local Indian food place in Tennessee
First from Door Dash, a week later just went and put on a mask and picked it up at counter
Door Dash total
$102.80
Breakdown
Food and tax $72.82
Delivery $4.99
Service fee $13.27 (“this 20% service fee helps us operate door dash”)
Dasher tip $11.00. (That’s voluntary.)
Total (food and tax) when we picked it up at restaurant
$64.12
It was also interesting that the item individual prices were higher on the DoorDash menu than on the actual restaurant menu. Not sure who the “extra” is going to, probably DoorDash. This is probably the only thing that really “bothered” me, as it is a “hidden charge” that you don’t see unless you have the actual in restaurant menu to compare.
Caveat Emptor as they say (might make a good rocket name!). Certainly is nice to have stuff delivered to your door, although it DOES become another pair of hands the bag has to pass through
Anyway, just an FYI
