If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.
I mean, I really don’t want to bike in the rain, but that’s no big deal for someone in a car, lol.
Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate

Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up.

The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need

My dad drives for Uber Eats and Skip the Dishes. He basically makes all his money in shitty weather. During the summer, when it’s gorgeous out, nobody places any orders. He ends up sitting in the car for hours doing nothing!

I guess I should clarify that I’ve never used DoorDash or Uber Eats, but for restaurants who have their own delivery people, it’s almost always via someone on an electric bike where I live, so rain or snow is not fun for them.
