It appears inexpensive because raising prices is the only visibility you have into what the restaurant is paying these services for their order flows (~10-30%).

- darth_aardvark 11mo agoThe restaurant doesn't choose the prices DoorDash displays, DoorDash does.
- 5555624 11mo agoAre you sure about that? I thought the restaurant does. On DoorDash's Help page (https://help.doordash.com/merchants/s/article/How-to-Maximize-Visibility-and-Order-Volume-on-DoorDash?language=en_US https://help.doordash.com/merchants/s/article/How-to-Maximiz...) There's a quote: "To provide a high-quality experience for all of our customers, we set prices on DoorDash the same as our in-store prices. DoorDash even enables operators to set different pricing for delivery and pickup, but a core part of us providing high-quality customer service is accomplished through our consistent menu pricing." - Manuel Bucio, Owner, Razpachos" That seems to indicate the restaurant sets the prices.
- paxys 11mo agoYou really think Doordash sets individual prices for each dish for the half million restaurants that it lists on its service? It is a simple platform. The restaurant sets up and manages its own menu, and Doordash takes a cut of the final sale.
- LunaSea 11mo agoBased on the fact that other platforms like GrubHub hijacked Google Places registrations for restaurants and also presented menus of non-customer restaurants in the platform, yes, I would not be surprised at all if that type of shenanigans were going on at DoorDash as well.
