Why Are Prices Higher on DoorDash?
Last updated
Ever wondered why the meals you crave seem a tad pricier when you order through DoorDash? Let’s dive into the reasons behind those extra dollars.
Why do prices seem to jump up when using DoorDash compared to the tag you see at the restaurant itself?
The Short Answer: Service Fees and Convenience
One main reason DoorDash prices might be higher is due to additional fees and the convenience factor. Running an app that brings your favorite food right to your doorstep involves costs. These include service fees, delivery charges, and sometimes a small markup on menu items.
DoorDash supports a vast network of drivers, providing them with part-time work and pay. This system ensures that you can get your food delivered quickly, which is no small feat. For that convenience, a bit of a price increase is part of the deal.
Connecting DoorDash to Playbite
Now, imagine offsetting some of those extra costs by playing mobile games. That’s where Playbite comes in. By downloading the Playbite app, you can play fun, casual games and earn rewards, including official DoorDash Gift Cards. These gift cards can be used to order from any restaurant on the DoorDash platform, making your next delivery order a bit sweeter.
