How to Add to Your DoorDash Order: A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever found yourself scrolling through DoorDash, placed an order, and then realized you forgot something? If you’re wondering how to add to your DoorDash order, you’re in the right place!
So, how exactly do you add items to an order you’ve already placed on DoorDash? Let’s find out together.
Can You Add to Your Order on DoorDash?
Short answer: Once you’ve placed an order on DoorDash, you cannot add items to that order. However, you don’t need to worry! There’s an easy workaround.
If you’ve forgotten to add a dish or an extra, the best way to handle it is by placing a new order with the additional items. Just make sure to order from the same restaurant to keep your delivery smooth and straightforward.
Why Can’t You Just Add Items?
DoorDash’s system is set up to process each order as quickly as possible to ensure that your food arrives fresh and on time. Once the order is placed, it goes straight to the restaurant so they can start preparing your meal. This is great for efficiency but means you can’t modify an order once it’s been submitted.
This system helps maintain order accuracy and speeds up the delivery process, benefiting both the restaurants and you, the customer.
