  • Doordash charges restaurants a percentage of the gross from the sale. Rather than eat this cost, restaurants are encouraged but not forced to add a markup on the prices they give Doordash (or insert your favorite third party delivery app here). They all do it.

    If you order from a store’s own website though, Doordash (I don’t know if other third parties do this) did not “find” or create the business/order… they are really only handling the delivery portion.

    In this instance, they still have some fees but do not take the large percentage, as that is a finder or broker fee. They aren’t bringing the restaurant the business, it’s the other way around.

    Thus, restaurants can use their normal pricing. If you can find the places near you doing this, it’s a much better deal than using Doordash normally.


















  • Can’t speak for the other user, but we have had three West Highland Terriers/Westies. All three of them did this at times and could be super picky at times to the point of making them sick.

    They have really strong internal clocks, and if their schedule gets out of whack, or if we’re slightly late, or if something gets their appetite moving earlier than normal, this happens.

    Their stomachs start producing acid whenever they think it’s time for food, and if they don’t get it in time, they throw up stomach acid.

    We have it decently under control these days due to years of experience… but it takes 4 meal times and a small snack before bed. One or the other of our current two will still get sick once every few weeks.

    I have actually had to dial back their portions carefully the past few weeks because they were both a bit overweight. So I can confirm that this can be a problem even when they are getting enough food.
