What Does ‘Very Busy’ Mean on DoorDash?
Last updated
Ever wondered what the ‘Very Busy’ status on DoorDash is all about? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into what this means for you as a customer and how it affects your delivery experience.
When you open DoorDash and see ‘Very Busy’ flashing, you might ask yourself what’s going on. Well, pull up a chair, and let’s get into the nitty-gritty of it!
‘Very Busy’ Status Explained
Simply put, when DoorDash says it’s ‘Very Busy,’ it means there’s a high demand for deliveries. A lot more people want yummy food delivered than there are drivers available to whisk it to their doors. It’s like being at a concert and everyone’s trying to buy a hotdog at the same time. Busy, right?
This status can impact your wait time and sometimes even the delivery fees. Think of it as a signal flag waving at you, saying, “Heads up! Your order might take a bit longer, and it might cost a smidge more.” It’s DoorDash’s way of letting you know what the situation looks like in your area.
