The system is fairly easy to use Pros useful sales, payout, commission, and transaction information that helps with restaurant bookkeeping and reconciliation Cons no notifications when new statements or financial reports become available. I have to check manually. Review Source JR Jessica R. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Brings in new business to your restaurant" June 21, 2025 5.0 While the fees were high, Doordash is the most popular food delivery app in our area and did bring us a lot of business. It brought in new customers that otherwise wouldn't have tried us as well. The customer service when we did have issues was fantastic. Pros Doordash is easy to use for both the consumer and the business. Everything is laid out in an easy to follow way. The customer service is fast, responsive, and courteous. It integrated well on our website and was easy to set up. Cons The fees are high, forcing us to raise our prices and push that cost onto our customer. We tried to keep our prices affordable and someone who has only ordered through Doordash and not come into our restaurant would assume those are our regular prices, which may drive some customers away. Alternatives considered [Postmates](https://www.capterra.com/p/229317/Postmates/) Reason for choosing DoorDash for Merchants Postmates is not popular in this area. It seems to be very big in Europe, but in Buffalo NY it is not incredibly well known. Switched from [GrubHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/210141/GrubHub/) Grubhub is not as popular in the area as doordash and did not garner as many customers. Deliveries are also harder to coordinate and get out on time as there are not as many drivers. Review Source kT keishla T. Lash artist Cosmetics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good application" August 17, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with doordash merchants is pretty good. I have to say that my busniess have been doing amazing since i started with them Pros I like doordash merchants because i am able to make alot of many and get many new costumers for my busniess Cons I would say that the least things i like is that doordash merchants should lower the percent that they stay with Review Source DR Donald R. Country manager Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete lack of communication" June 2, 2025 1.0 Done with for dash. Will not order again. No communication by for dash when order unavailable. It's been fun, but bye. Pros Nothing. 2 out of 3 orders in a month have had half or more of the order canceled, without notification. Paid a tip based on more than double of the food i received. Tonight almost 30 dollars of my order canceled due to bring out of stock, yet for dash didn't call, was going to send me the rest of the order, 2 biscuits, for 10 dollars. If i hadn't paid extensive attention to my order status, not a common action, I'd be paying for nothing. The store seems to be attempting to contact dd to inform them as well. They say they are getting hung up on by dd. Cons No customer interaction if an order is unavailable or changes. 3 quarters of an order not available and for dash wants to charge 10 dollars for 2 biscuits Switched from [GrubHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/210141/GrubHub/) Dd was better years ago. Recently dd sucks. Going back to gh or trying uber eats Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Physician Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DoorDash is a wonderful app that allows for access to a large variety of cuisine. " August 30, 2025 4.0 The overall experience is positive, as DoorDash allows for access to a variety of foods and restaurants that previously could not be delivered. However, over time my use has diminished, as it is a very expensive way to access a meal. Pros The best feature of the DoorDash app is the ease at which you can order food for home (or work) delivery. Cons The least appealing thing about the DoorDash app is the high fees and additional costs associated with ordering food to be delivered. Switched from [Uber Eats](https://www.capterra.com/p/10030633/Uber-Eats/) I received a credit card incentive that lowered the fees associated with the app's use Review Source AS Alex S. Restaurant Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DoorDash POS integration" April 24, 2025 4.0 Good, brings additional sales. If we dont meet sales expectations, they refund us the fee which they collect. Pros That can be integrated with our POS system. Which allow us to use our own system for ticket printing and order tracking rather than having different tablets and printers. Cons Because we are integrated with DoorDash trough our POS, our DoorDash menu is managed and controlled by our POS, but sometimes that fails, because we see orders containing sides which were removed already long time ago. And they are not showing in our POS menu which is the one synchronized with DoorDash one. Alternatives considered [Uber Freight](https://www.capterra.com/p/206000/Uber-Freight/) Reason for choosing DoorDash for Merchants We have them too, but doordash performs better in term of sales Review Source SC Shirita C. Therapist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Door dash Review " February 14, 2025 3.0 Pros The convenience of having my food delivered directly to my door Cons Having to pay an extra fee to have my food delivered directly to me as opposed to them merging my order with another customers, which increases the time it takes for me to get my food. Switched from [GrubHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/210141/GrubHub/) Poor rewards program, not worth the monthly fee for service. Review Source Frankie S. Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect app for discovering more local cuisine..." August 30, 2025 5.0 Overall, I have enjoyed using Doordash to try food at local places that aren't available on other apps that are out there. Pros Doordash has helped alot in places where other apps have not. I've used it across different states and in different cities, it has given me access to different restaurants that were unavailable on more popular, mainstream apps. Cons At the moment, I honestly cannot think of any cons that are a reflection on the app. Usually any issues I've had were because the restaurant did not send my order correctly or did not see the order because only just started using the online ordering feature and were not used to using the system. Review Source SF Sarah F. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Door Dash Trusted User" June 23, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Door dash is pretty food, other than the customer service bad experience i've had..I honestly can't complain. Pros I love that door dash is quick and easy and that you can register for a door dash pass and you get perks! Cons My least favorite thing about door dash is the customer service, they act like they just don't care and are rude. Review Source JS Jacqueline S. Self Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great app, has all the features needed " May 6, 2025 5.0 I've have had no problems regarding the app or functionality Pros Easy to use and schedule driving blocks that are available. Cons I happen to enjoy using the app for driving, so i have no problems Review Source BD Blake D. Director Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DoorDash review " June 10, 2025 4.0 Pros I like the ease of being able to order food whenever we want and that it’s at our fingertips when we don’t have time to leave to go get it Cons Cons is that it’s more expensive than getting it ourselves. They have so much extra fees that make you want to just drive and get it Review Source DJ Douarou J. Artist producer Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Doordash review" October 13, 2024 5.0 I like use doordash to oder food in the app is the best Pros Fast to receive oder as time with best delivers in the market Cons To Connect with good local restaurant to oders delicious meals with great flavors and tastes Review Source PR Pat R. Salesman Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bud customer service " October 5, 2024 1.0 Not good Pros Nothing Cons My daughter order from Wal-Mart and doordash was supposed to deliver the items about $50 bucks order They delivered to the front door of the building and not at the door of the apartment knowing the number and obviously the goods were stolen so i call Wal-Mart and they said that the order was picked up by doordash so she called doordash and after 50 minutes waiting they couldn't find the driver so had to have an investigation today is been a week since and no reply or money refunded It's absolutely outrageous that a big company like doordash can't take care of the customers properly, no starts given 😡 Review Source LC Linda C. Asst. Mgr Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "No food and no refund" September 22, 2024 1.0 Poor customer servive. Ill swith to UBEREATS Pros I appreciate the daahers time and dedication Cons BRWARE. Did not recieve my food. It cost me over 45 00 and they DID NOT refund my money. The address thwy delivered to was missing a number. Very disappointed 😞 Review Source DP David P. CSR Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Door Dash for Beginners and More" November 21, 2023 5.0 My experience with Door Dash has been a very positive experience! I never get a rude Dasher.They all seem to be kind and make sure my delivery is left for me to easily access it. They knock and wait for us to say Thank you and then they leave it! It's just an easy process honestly when it comes to what I need for ordering and very easy from the start to the end of ordering and delivery. I know some apps are a little harder for a person not so computer or internet savvy, however using door dash even beginners can easily use the app with no foreseeable issues. Pros Door Dash saves so much time out of my already busy day. It allows me to save gas and allows me more time to finish my daily duties! While they're doing the shopping and delivery for me, it amazes me how uninterrupted my day is and how much I can complete instead of stopping and having to leave and go do this all myself kl. It's so easy. Cons I have no negative comments to say about Door Dash. Review Source MT Miranda T. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DoorDash Review" August 16, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with DoorDash has been excellent because the app is simple to use, and it doesn’t take long to place an order. My orders are always delivered to me very fast and the customer service is great. There’s a great amount of restaurants to choose from, and I believe that it makes life easier for everyone because you can have food delivered directly to your door without having to leave the house. I highly recommend DoorDash! Pros I love that it is very simple to use, and the app always runs efficiently, and my food is always delivered to me quickly. The delivery drivers are always polite and respectful. This app is also great to use if you don’t feel like leaving your house, and would prefer to have your food delivered directly to your door. I believe that DoorDash has been a lifesaver for many people throughout the pandemic because many people were not comfortable with leaving their home because the COVID-19 cases were at an all-time high. I think that this app prevented many people from getting sick. DoorDash has been very beneficial for me, and the app has so much to offer. There’s many different restaurants to choose from, and it’s a very fun app to use. Cons Sometimes it can be expensive, and more restaurants should be added in order to have an even bigger variety of restaurants to choose from when placing orders Review Source JW Jamie W. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good to utilize if you don’t have delivery drivers" August 31, 2023 4.0 Overall it has been good Pros It helps us get our food and beverage items delivered to our customers as we are not able to hire a delivery driver ourselves. Given that there is a fee, we are able to mark up our items slightly to make up for that. Cons When we make menu or price changes, the app often will not sync up with our system. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "DoorDash Was Great!" September 2, 2024 5.0 DoorDash really helped us get our food business going! Pros I liked that our customers were able to find us easily. Cons The setup was a little bumpy. It would have been nice to have a dedicated CSA to answer our questions. Review Source AH Angel H. Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A little more money but better business! " September 29, 2022 4.0 My experience with door dash has overall, been a good one. Two thumbs up. Pros Doordash makes it easy for customers to place orders and as a business it is important to know our product reached its correct destination Cons I don't like how much more it is than other products. Review Source CS Candace S. Assistant Fishery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome delivery services" May 20, 2024 5.0 Pros I like how they deliver to your job and the food is sometimes hot. The delievers are nice as well. Cons I dont reccomend getting anything frozen like ice cream or ice cause when you get it its melted and door dash will not refund you back. Review Source AI Alexander I. Managing Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DoorDash is a convinient way to get your food and groceries delivered to your door." February 6, 2024 4.0 Overall I have had a positive experience and 9 out of 10 times the delivery was completed without any issues. Pros DoorDash is a convenient and relatively affordable option to get restaurant food and groceries delivered to your door. Overall I had a positive experience with very few exceptions using the DoorDash over the last few years. Cons Sometimes the items show as being available on the app but after the order is placed there is a notification that the grocery or restaurant food item is not available. Review Source AR Alexis R. Owner of AER'S APPAREL Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A LOT OF CHARGES!" June 3, 2021 5.0 Overall my experience with DoorDash has been okay, over the time that I've been using it I have had a couple of incidents where I've had to call customer service for a refund of my money because the Dasher didn't bring all of my food or either the restaurant messed something up with my order. Other than that I never get my food cold, I always get it on time and the food's good when I get it and the Dashers are usually really nice. Pros What I like most about DoorDash is that it's very accessible. I can order online or through their app. Also I always receive my order within 40 minutes of ordering, which isn't too bad. I like that they have each restaurant's full menu that they offer accessible to the customer. I also like that I can leave reviews on my delivery driver. Cons What I least like about DoorDash is the taxes and fees that they apply on your delivery. I would spend like $15 on my food then I would get to the checkout and see my total and the details that come along with the total and my taxes and fees would be like $6. Not including the delivery fee which is most the time around $4. So I would be sitting there at the checkout page with $10 worth of extra charges plus my $15 of my food charges. So all together I'm spending $25 on doordash, which is way too much for me. Review Source ST Shashank T. Sr BA Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Miles ahead of the competition" September 13, 2022 5.0 Very useful service overall. Highly recommend. Pros 1\. Doordash almost never goes wrong with their deliveries, which are accurate and on-time. 2. I have used its competitor services in multiple areas, but they are all so far behind Doordash. 3. When Doordash was delivery partner of Walmart, they did a great job delivering groceries efficiently 4. Discounts Cons 1\. I kept getting notifications that I am eligible for a discount, but the promo codes never worked when I used them. This was very annoying. I have planned to order just because of promo codes, only to be disappointed later 2. Often there is $1-2 difference in prices between dining in and online, which is really disappointing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Scientist Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DoorDash !" July 25, 2021 5.0 Overall, doordash has been a great platform to order food during the pandemic, but the increase in costs and charges may make it a bit less useful (to prohibitive) over time. Pros DoorDash is a very popular platform to order food online. I like the selection of food options available and the frequent offers and deal they offer to users. Cons Doordash charges have increased a lot over recent days. They are very persistent in users to subscribe to Dashpass to save on some of the fees. Review Source NC Natalie C. Artist Fine Art Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick, easy service! " September 5, 2023 5.0 Great service and app. Pros When I'm in the city and comfortable in my hotel, Door Dash has always been there when I need food or a snack. So many options in the area and I love that I don't have to call someone. Since using the app, I've had less errors with my orders and it always arrives. Cons Not all restaurants are on the app, so it depends when I'm craving at the moment.
