About DoorDash
DoorDash is a delivery marketplace that started with restaurant orders and now also covers groceries, convenience stores and its own DashMart shops, retail, alcohol in some markets, flowers and pet supplies. You order in the app or on the website, a courier (a 'Dasher') brings it, and you can choose pickup instead. Ordering itself is free; you pay menu prices plus delivery and service fees and a tip. The DashPass membership, sold monthly or yearly with a free trial for new members, removes delivery fees and reduces service fees on eligible orders over a minimum, and also works on Caviar, DoorDash's more upscale restaurant app. DoorDash operates in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several other countries. Like other delivery apps, fees make orders noticeably more expensive than ordering direct, and DashPass savings only kick in at participating stores once you meet their minimum.
Best for: US and Canadian customers who order delivery often and want a broad choice of stores.
