I heard a story where a Doordash customer ordered a simple meal but received a huge feast instead. Apparently, there was some mix - up at the restaurant where they prepared the wrong order but sent it anyway. The customer was initially shocked but ended up having a great time sharing the extra food with their family.
Sure. A customer once ordered a pizza and the Doordash driver showed up with a pizza box that was completely empty. Turns out, the pizza had fallen out in the car and the driver didn't notice. Doordash quickly sent another pizza to the customer.
One horror story could be getting food that's completely different from what was ordered. For example, ordering a steak dinner and getting a cold sandwich instead. It's really frustrating when you're hungry and expecting a specific meal.
One success story could be a small local restaurant that saw a significant increase in sales after partnering with Doordash. They were able to reach a wider customer base who might not have otherwise visited the restaurant. Another could be a delivery driver who was able to earn a stable income and support their family through Doordash. They could work flexible hours and take advantage of peak delivery times.
One scary Doordash story I heard was about a customer who ordered food late at night. When the Dasher arrived, the house was completely dark except for one flickering porch light. The Dasher felt a really eerie vibe but still left the food at the door. As he was walking away, he heard strange noises coming from inside the house. He quickly got in his car and drove off, and later found out that the neighborhood had a reputation for being haunted.
One horror story could be when the Dasher takes forever to deliver. I once ordered food and the Dasher got lost multiple times. By the time the food arrived, it was cold and soggy. It was really frustrating as I was hungry and waiting for a long time.
I had a Doordash order where the driver got a bit lost. But instead of getting frustrated, he called me and we had a nice chat while he found his way. He told me about some of the other interesting places he's delivered to in the city. In the end, it was like making a new friend through the Doordash experience.
Doordash hot stories might revolve around new features on the app. For instance, they could be stories of how the new search function has made it easier for customers to find their favorite food. Or perhaps they are about special promotions that made a big splash, like a 'buy one get one free' deal from a popular pizza joint that led to a record number of orders.
There was a story where a DoorDash driver found out that the customer he was delivering to was an old acquaintance from high school. They had a great chat while the customer received their food, reminiscing about old times and catching up on what had happened in their lives since then.
The most common themes? Well, there's the idea of the unknown. When a Dasher goes to a new place, especially at night, there's a sense of mystery. So, many stories involve a feeling of unease when approaching a delivery location. Also, the behavior of customers can be a theme. For instance, a customer who doesn't speak and just stares at the Dasher. And then there's the whole aspect of being in an unfamiliar area and something not seeming right, like strange noises coming from the woods near a delivery house.
