Food Delivery Service DoorDash Debuts

DoorDash debuted in D.C. at the end of March, combining elements of food-delivery apps like GrubHub and Seamless with the contractor-driver model of Uber and Lyft. DoorDash delivers only from restaurants in Northwest D.C. and only within a four-mile radius of your restaurant of choice. So far, Bethesda Bagels, Ben’s Chili Bowl, Pho 14, Busboys & Poets and Chipotle have partnered with the service. DoorDash differs from Seamless and GrubHub in that it charges a flat $7 for fee food delivery and the driver, not the restaurant, is in charge of pick up and delivery. DoorDash promises successful delivery within one hour of an order.
