What a surprise, platforms like these thrive on offloading costs to everyone else, all the while taking in massive profits.
Almost everyone I work with thinks I'm just "being a cheap ass" for not using these delivery services... Nah I just don't wanna pay $18 for a damn $6 meal.
The point of running in the red for years while spending exorbitantly on marketing/political issues is to most favorably shape the market decades into the future. These companies are all following the Amazon playbook and tbh with how successful its been and Washington's unwillingness to act as any real antimonopoly check currently can you blame them?
Its honestly better buying for a couple people rather than one to get your most out of what you paid for.
HEY GUY
i say doordash
Came for the wacky clown video stayed for the bonk sound
I worked for door dash and would only get $5 an order including what the person tipped, for a while I literally thought people just weren’t tipping me
lmao i got a door dash ad on this video
Uber eats for all of them
I'm curious if Skip The Dishes falls into the same category. I'm sure it does and I don't use delivery services, my parents get it for me 😊🔪
commenting for the last dinosaurs “in a million years”
Normally i just say do you want to order some food
This popped up on my suggested after I ordered from Grubhub rip
door dash is the verb I use
Thats why i never fall for this scam lol paying 9 dollars for delivery f off
He sounds like Andrew from Big Mouth
I always pay via PayPal and tip in cash. I don't trust those companies to give their drivers their tip
Ur hair sucks
Omg Drew! Can you be more quiet? Im trying to read the comments... smh
Heyyy!!! I thought you get hello fresh. Hmmph
I deliver for door dash and it’s a nightmare. You make pocket change from it and it’s terrible. I didn’t know this until after I became a dasher but dashers are considered self employed. When you are self employed you better be ready to set about 30-50% of your earning aside for taxes. And then you prob wanna set half of what you keep aside for gas, and repair for the car. Some days the app will tell me it’s busy but I can sit out in a parking lot with my car running (if it’s hot or cold you have to keep the car on so you don’t freeze or burn up) this can use up about a quarter tank of gas sometimes and then you don’t get an order for about 2 hours and now you’ve lost money. The payout isn’t worth it. Yeah you could prob make a pretty penny if you do all that tax write off and stuff but I’m not educated about that stuff and felt scammed when it was like “it’s an easy job and you can make up to 16$ per hour”. Lastly, and this puts the icing on the cake, you do not get a discount for being a dasher. That should be a given. If door dash is making more than me and the restaurant combined off of one order, I should be able to get a free dash pass. Oh well..
is that a last dinosaurs album in the back?? 👀👀 good man. in a million years is fantastic 🔥
I use doordash as my verb, but i also use door dash. Lol
we use a "local" delivery app called chomp I think its mostly Midwest but not 100% sure
I used DoorDash for the first time a few months back and they messed up my order. They didn’t bring me the 2nd pizza I ordered for so I wrote them an email about it. Instead of refunding me for the pizza I didn’t receive they gave like $7 in-app credit. Like??? HOW? I was angry and asked for the refund on the pizza and they gave it to me without question lmao
the "out of stock" thing is actually not true... restaurants have a tablet that they can control their availability from and they should keep it up to date based on what is sold out so customers can't order it.
I got an ad for DoorDash too
I saw a DoorDash ad right before this video 😂
I had never heard of a “small cart fee” that sounds absurd to me
In my house it's "What do you want to order?" or "Let's order Cosmic"
Before this video i got an ad for doordash
i say i’m gonna postmates or uber some food. lol. even though i mostly use ubereats and doordash.
We have SkipTheDishes in Canada so the verb is Skip like “do you want to skip some taco’s”
I got a doordash ad right before this
I always knew this was a meme but it’s sad to see this is the truth lol
I stopped using food delivery apps. If I can't go get it in person I'll just cook something.
I got a door dash ad before this video
you do realize that these companies can say theyre losing thousands of dollars on paper, but in reality they’re not losing anything at all? HELLO?? it’s called pay less taxes!
As someone who lives in rural areas, none of these apps work. Even if they did, the payment would be outrageous, cause they would have to travel up to 10 extra miles to get to certain locations.
my mr beast burger was 20 bucks i’ll pass
In Ireland you just pay for delivery. Some stores have minimum orders to make it worth their time but for the most part it's fine.
My first day working for DD I had to pick up 9 items for two different people from Papa John's. Bad example but I thought Papa John's had delivery people already?
Convenance is king, used to be cash... wtf happened to us?
The reason they reported 150 million loss, is because they intentionally lose money so when they start making more money, they can report the losses and either pay no taxes, or pay in a lower tax bracket
These big gig companies have almost unlimited money behind them. The loss they make each year doesn't matter to them because they want to get a big a market share as possible.
Quick life hack for using Instacart (not mentioned in the video) for buying groceries. Approve item replacements and complain for not getting the item you wanted and they give you the money back and you still get the thing. boom
He predicted Grubhub
Hey Danny
We already live in a corporate dystopia. Shit is crazy
I got a doordash ad-
The fact that Californian voters passed Proposition 22 is just absolutely insane.
I haven’t watched this video yet and I’m commenting because I agree. There’s no economical benefit to the customer by adding an for profit business in between the customer and the business. Direct to consumer is always gonna be the cheapest. Plus most food is gross delivered. Your food will be sitting from 20-40 average before you get it. Plus plus do you really think the person driving a 2010 Honda with different color doors and a fart muffler, making 8hr isn’t gonna eat at least one of your fries? Give it a year, all these companies will be gone.
as the daughter of two restaurant owners, YES: people keep blaming the restaurant for delivery issues when they have literally NOTHING to do with us except when we just give them the food the customer ordered. CALL THE THIRD PARTY FOR THE REFUND, NOT THE RESTAURANT.
( 2:12 ) you missed a pun. you coulda said "but wishes dont always come drew" inatead of true get it? cuz ur name is close to true? lmao
As a dasher I get $3 for driving 10 miles in the wrong direction because the address only said 1123.
I got a doordash add while watching this
Title Should be Delivery Apps are game changing for businesses making ends meet
I work in a restaurant and we used to have all of the big delivery apps but are down to one because they screw toy over so much.
SOY YO
*THE KIND OF DEALS THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO BOOGIE.*
A problem I’ve had with doordash is that I could be within range of a restaurant (5 miles or less) and the app or the website would tell me I was out of range. I have no idea how that could be possible especially when a restaurant from 8 or so miles away from where I live is available for delivery.
Me: *Randomly Clicks On This Video* Ad: *Download doordash* Me: *visible confusion*
I'm a shift manager at a Noodles & Company and I cannot TELL you how many calls we get on a regular basis from the customer blaming US for the fact that their DoorDash food wasn't treated properly, even though we are super busy on a regular basis and it's not our fault that the incompetent delivery person couldn't deliver to the right address
I work at a restaurant that uses all the major delivery apps and it’s such a headache, everything said in this video is so true
lets talk about the Chicago fee
Doordash sucks... don’t use that one. You’ve been warned
I used to work at a sushi place and did delivery for them. Loved the sushi and all the food they’d make but honestly having 2 different delivery app services really fucked us. Couldn’t make a profit when you’re paying people like delivery drivers that aren’t getting deliveries because there’s 5 orders up for UberEats drivers.
I am a normal person who speaks proper English so to answer your question, I say: “I ordered from domino’s”
What really baffled me when I worked at round table was why anyone would ever order through grub hub or doordash, when we have delivery already. Basically they were paying another 10$ or so for no reason whatsoever
Gotta make sure those fees go to GrubHub first before any of it goes to the restaurants/employees who deliver
They don't screw over me as a consumer and therefore i do not care but stay woke bro
we 'Deliveroo' things
The way he talks about this is really interesting yet why am I listening to this
In Europe we have Take Away taking over everything.
Pizza huts app is pretty convenient
Haha, they aren't available in my area.....
As someone who lives in rural areas, none of these apps work. Even if they did, the payment would be outrageous, cause they would have to travel up to 10 extra miles to get to certain locations.
wow
Ur speaking Great here. In the world ❤ 🌎 ✨ ♥ I live in, yeah safty first by abide by YOUR cities restrictions. Some don't live in whatever concrete jungle u inhabit, n I feel for you but really, if you can get off ur as n pick it up,n u order locally help the small restaurant not a franchise thats been bought out n grouped in with 8 other restaurants owned by one person. I have a hard time feeling for them when all they do now n for a long time, long before delivery apps, they f up or pass off old food. I know a lot of horror stories from American fast food. Here's a little food for thought, too bell uses grade d meat, same meat delegated for dog food n meat filler. Know what ur eating , n what u may think is healthy n fresh, marketing is what ur paying for, theres no such thing as quality, unless u pay out the ass, aka Mary browns franchise in Canada n Swiss Chalet have the chicken monopoly up here, all other sources r inferior to these two,yet it cost a small fortune for parts of the chicken bk in the 60s, *generation wastful* right after generation kill. The United States hasn't had a real president with his own unobstructable agenda determination n fortitude get u shot in the head ridding inur car with the top down cruising Dallas. #JFK
Absolute legend. They are thieves. I used to work at a Yiros shop and my boss got a call and she got absolutely abused. People don't think that your actually purchasing your meals from third party apps and just blame the restaurant
Nicccccce
this needs to be more widely talked about, it’s such an important thing but we don’t even realize it’s happening
I worked at Pizza Hut for 4 years and chanticlear pizza for almost a year. I've been doing doordash for almost a year as well now, and honestly I prefer it over traditional delivery driving. But that's just me 🤷♂️
The Chicago Fee
drawn gooden guys it’s like drew but drawn
I’ve rarely used these things. I’ve only ordered through DoorDash/Grubhub like 5 times total (combined). Some people who use this stuff every week 🤦🏽♂️ Like, are you rich, lazy, or just don’t care about your money?
Good video. I always try to pick up order at the restaurant if possible, after ordering directly on the phone. And when delivery is in order, nothing like a good old cash tip just to piss off the bloody companies. To answer your last question, I say "I have it delivered". I don't want to give any unpaid ads to those evil corps.
Screw the cash tip. Why should everyone else have to pay taxes, but drivers get a pass???
i mean if i get food delivered i just say "get delivery" 🤷♂️
Idk if there Skip the Dishes in the US but in Canada where I live even if we dont use it we say "Oh I already skipped donairs from blah blah"
I love the door dash commercial right before this video
I've only ordered delivery twice. First time took 2.5 hours for one meal from a restaurant 10 minutes away. Second time I tried a year later, the delivery driver straight up stole the food I ordered for my wife's birthday. These companies can burn in hell lol
You can put a door dash order in for jimmy johns, the only difference is that you pay a few more dollars to get the same food from the same delivery driver from jimmy johns
Well don't use them
The company i work for gets a 15-20% discount on food we pick up and I thought that was horrible
Danny ngl your pretty smart for a 3 year old
When possible I order directly on the restaurant's site because they get screwed on food app fees.
I refuse to use these apps. They keep a lot of money from the restaurants. In a community group I am the amount of orders that are delivered to the wrong address is a joke. I would rather order from the restaurant's app if available, or pick up. The one thing I still find weird is people getting McDonald's delivered.
I'd just say I ordered food from whatever place and who cares which app I used
If you pay a small subscription fee per month you'll end up saving a lot more, and at least in my city, Grubhub prices are almost identical to those of the restaurant. I live in California so now drivers are getting some benefits and I can eliminate the tip because the Europeans have it right and tip just shouldn't be a thing anywhere, and you're golden! Yes I know the tip thing is not very popular here, but that's because America has gotten themselves so intrenched in tip culture that it's just sad. Almost nowhere in the world are tips given. If the app is doing their job they'll pay the driver reasonably and I shouldn't have to fix what's wrong with the food industry by paying more with a tip. Rant aside I can order for 2 or 3 with $30 no problem
