Within just months of closing the deal, investors were pushing for the company to bail out on Grubhub. Apparently, they finally decided to listen. While it doesn't mean it's a done dea...

Does Doordash Give Top Dashers Better Delivery Offers?
April 06, 2022 20:00 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBMany Dashers are convinced that Doordash gives their Top Dashers better delivery offers. However, Doordash themselves don't even promise that. I decided to test the theory. I started out in February not having Top Dasher status. I accepted 100 straight deliveries in February so that I could not onlly make Top Dasher for March, but also have a record of every delivery. Then in March, I took another 100 straight delvieries. I kept track of everything: Offer details, how long deliveries too...

We discuss a strategy that might help keep profitability up. Or even inc...
