Why is DoorDash Saying ‘Pickup Only’?

Have you ever opened your DoorDash app, super excited to order your favorite meal, only to find it says ‘pickup only’? You’re not alone, and we’re here to explain why that happens.

Sometimes, when you’re ready to hit ‘order’ on that delicious dish, DoorDash throws a curveball and tells you it’s ‘pickup only.’ But why does this happen?

Short Answer: It’s About Availability

‘Pickup only’ means that, at that moment, delivery isn’t available for your chosen restaurant. This could be for several reasons, such as no available drivers or the restaurant deciding to offer pickup services only at certain times.

DoorDash works with a vast network of drivers. However, there might be times when demand exceeds supply. During these times, restaurants might still want to serve you, but you’ll need to pop over to pick it up yourself.
