How doordash/ Uber eats makes money to survive?

Mar 2 25 Comments

Other than delivery fee do they charge restaurants some percentage for placing an order for them?

Because the delivery/service fee should be to pay drivers.

Where do they print money for these high salaries for tech people and for infrastructure

I would like to here from Product managers at Uber DD

    Itโ€™s not a secret , restaurants pay 6% for pickup and 15-30% for delivery (there are a few plan options)
    Look at the doordash for merchants - products - pricing.

    They can choose also self delivery , or separate website , or use just the delivery piece for lower percentage.

    Always surprises me people donโ€™t searchโ€ฆ

    • I do not think that is true completely for every restaurant. I noticed increased price on items only for few Restaurants, most of the time it is the same price if I go for pickup or DD delivery.

      If restaurants agrees to pay 6%, then that is fine if they can afford that cost.

      Restaurants set their prices.
      We have 0 control on that - but what I wrote is true for all restaurants.
      Not sure why you think it isnโ€™t trueโ€ฆ

    Of course they do charge restaurants. AFAIK DD/UE/GH income comes from:
    1. Service and delivery fees from clients
    2. Order fees from restaurants (it may be a large piece like 25-30 percent of each order). That's why restaurants have 2 prices for the same menu: online prices are usually 20-25% more expensive than dine-in, to cover 3rd party delivery company fees. And also if you want your company to be visible on top of the search you should extra 5-10 percent to DD. That's how it works, and that's why I never use these services lol ๐Ÿ˜†

    Doordash and Uber charge customers delivery/service fees and they also charge the restaurant itself. So they get money from both sides. They pay drivers a pittance per delivery and expect that people will tip to make it worth the driver's effort to work that day
