I hope that the people from Doordash who read this response,clearly understand- it’s constructive advice only; when I read this article, I see many people from this company who understand apps ,computer technology,and internet marketing.
Getting a marketing degree before computers were around made me understand that to build a viable business requires more tha n just a good idea.
Building an app that works fairly well is just a small piece to continued success, and not a ticket to success.
It takes two parties to tango here: the customer, and the driver; without either one being happy-zero revenue. Start- up money is a fleeting thing, once it’s gone-so goes the good idea.
I tried being a “ dasher” for a 4 hour shift, went to a bright red area with a $4 bonus, and waited 2 and one half hours without ONE order.Well, needless to say I was not impressed at all.
Making your app better is fine; expecting competent drivers to perform to your standards with the threat of being deactivated, based on potential income-means little if you get no orders.
