Does DoorDash Upcharge Food? Here’s What You Need to Know
Last updated
Ever wonder if your favorite meals cost more when you order through DoorDash? Let’s dive into that question right away.
When you’re craving something delicious but don’t feel like cooking or going out, DoorDash is a go-to for many. But does using DoorDash mean you’ll be paying more for the same food?
Yes, DoorDash May Upcharge Your Food
Indeed, sometimes the prices on DoorDash differ from what you’d find if you walked into the restaurant. Why? Well, it’s because restaurants may raise their prices on the app to cover part of the commission that DoorDash charges them.
It’s not just about the commission, either. This pricing strategy also helps cover additional operational costs involved with offering their food on such a convenient platform. And while not all restaurants mark up their prices, it’s not uncommon to find a bit of a price difference.
