About DoorDash
That little insulated bag on the back of someone's bike or car has become a fixture of dinnertime in most US cities, and this is the app most people associate with it. It's the largest food delivery marketplace in the country, connecting diners with restaurants and independent delivery drivers, or 'Dashers.'
Beyond restaurants, it's expanded into grocery, convenience, and retail delivery in a lot of markets, effectively becoming a general on-demand delivery app. DashPass subscribers get reduced fees, which matters if you order often. Refunds aren't governed by a published dollar amount or day count — it's handled case by case through their self-help tool based on what actually went wrong with your order.
