Just so you're aware, doordash/Uber are known for increasing the single item price after you've set them. Say you set a pizza for 12$, they'll charge 15$ just for the item, PLUS all their other fees.
They also calculate tips by including taxes and all their fees. Actual cost ends up about 200% the original menu price. Gah.
I didnt have an actual point, just complaining.
Yeah, I feel ya. I absolutely loathe having to use them, an miss when pizza places had their own delivery crew
I don't believe they're able to under my DSP contract, but that's a good reminder to keep checking it. Contracts only mean as much as your ability to enforce them, and for a small business is basically zero
I bet I could write a quick web scraper on a cron job to pull the prices each week. Thanks!
