Overview

Craving for your favorite meal from your favorite restaurant yet you don’t feel like driving that far or dealing with such a long queue? Well luckily, we now have many convenient ways to place our orders without going through stressful lines. Thanks to food delivery apps like DoorDash, you can have your food delivered in just a few quick taps of your fingertips. Especially now that most restaurant operations are limited due to the coronavirus pandemic, the food delivery service is an ideal solution. DoorDash has been around for more than seven years and remained faithful to its goal to connect customers, dashers, and merchants in one interactive and beneficial platform. The company currently serves over 4,000 cities across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Australia, and the numbers are continuously growing.

How does the DoorDash app work?

Unlike traditional food delivery apps, DoorDash is not affiliated with any restaurants. Instead, it acts as a third-party platform or more like an integrator between restaurants and users who want to order food online. It also employs people who are looking for a full-time/part-time job. Using the DoorDash app will highly depend on your role (customer, dasher, or merchant). For customers, simply download the app either from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store to get started. It comes with a simple and user-friendly interface that you can easily navigate and explore.

The first step is to sign up for a customer account and once done, you can start ordering the food. You can do this by browsing through the DoorDash app’s main page, or you can tap the Search icon at the bottom of the screen to type the name of a restaurant or tap a specific category of food. If you tap a restaurant, you’ll be taken to that restaurant’s menu page. Here, you can tap on specific food items or tap on categories. Once you’ve selected a food item, you’ll come to a screen that lets you add extras or ask for ingredient substitutions. It also lets you change item quantity.

Tap the Add to Order button for check out. After reviewing the total amount you need to pay, tap the Continue button, and select your preferred payment method. You can choose either Apple Pay or Google Pay (depending on your smartphone), or you can choose a Credit or Debit Card. You’ll then come to the Checkout. Double-check your address details, add delivery instructions, or a tip if you like. And finally, tap Place Order. Dashers and Restaurant accounts are required to be done using the DoorDash’s webpage.
