So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.

    I wonder what that kind of quick response from Uber ends up costing restaurants and drivers in the long run. There are fraudulent claims to consider, but even when real mistakes are made, Uber has no way of knowing whether the order was complete when it was picked up. Probably makes it hard for restaurants to troubleshoot if there’s been a real error, because they don’t know that driver, so they can assume the driver is at fault and move on. I wonder jf Uber takes the refund out of its own slice or punishes both the restaurant and the driver?

    (This is in no way about you and your refund, I’m just interested in how the policy ultimately affects quality in restaurant delivery.)

      Now that I think of it, if you mark an item as missing, Doordash asks if your bag was sealed when it arrived. It’s not a perfect system, but I guess that can help narrow down who’s at fault.
