Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?

  Unfortunately we didn’t have much say in the matter. The way Door Dash did it was pretty roundabout. Instead of making some deal with Dominos (at least, when I worked there), they just submitted the order through our website under either the driver’s name or the customers. I doubt any of them knew the areas.

  But I do agree with you.

    yea DD does that with stores that don’t opt out of it. It’s dumb, while you do have the ability to actually partner with them(and in doing so you gain the ability to control when and who places/gets orders), if you don’t have an active partnership, they just send it via the dashers name and give the dasher a temp card to use for the transaction.

    yea, instead they are providing a company food so they can deliver there, that makes it so much better /s

        I did just edit it to make my point a little clearer, which changed quite a bit of it. But to answer your question, if that area is an unsafe area, yes 1000%

      It’s huge “I can’t fix this problem myself” mentality. Dominoes isn’t sending anyone to that neighborhood. Could you imagine the furthered dystopic trend if Dominoes (and others) COULD choose which neighborhoods to not serve by 3rd party? If multi-brand corporations could so directly manipulate product availability like that?

      There’s enough problems in poorer areas becoming “food deserts” by lacking proper groceries and only having garbage fast food available in walking/bussing distance. Let’s not give the French fry overlords any more power to tailor the markets through delivery denial.

        Firstly, I don’t think the statement of I can’t do anything about it is valid here. Those chains could for sure offer a safe way of delivering it to those areas, but they choose not to because of cost, which is somewhat understandable but still bleh to me.

        The food deserts, as you described, is going to happen regardless of if Domino’s allows DoorDash to deliver to bad areas or not.As at the end of the day, Dominos decides where they open and how they operate and that’s not changing any time soon.

        I can’t wrap my head around any situation where, logically, you should be sending someone in to a risk area that’s known for people getting mugged slash robbed because someone lives there. especially for the wages that those delivery drivers make on both Domino’s and DoorDash.

        There are solutions to the problem you listed there and allowing a company to pawn everything off to a company that isn’t putting the proper safety measures in for their drivers is not the solution.
