So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.

    that last part is pretty fucked up. I know you likely had no control over that when there but,

    “We aren’t willing to send our drivers into this area for profit because of safety concerns, but we will send another companies drivers into the area”

    Is a bad/entitled policy.

    edit: removed beginning as I didn’t want post to seem like I was directing it at PC.

      dominos in this case aren’t the party sending staff at another company to the dangerous locations. that would be doordash

      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.
