re: Dominos Pizza's war on delivery apps

Why would people use a delivery app for chain pizza? They already deliver.

Ahh maybe you’re right. My son did it for a month or so after he broke his arm. He said people could put cash tip on there or in notes how much they are gonna tip in cash after delivery. He worked in a lumber yard, when he broke his arm he did that which was stupid because sometimes you need both arms to carry food, and maybe even to drive Teenagers I can’t remember if it was Waitr or DD

I still havent figured out their premise in the commercial. So they say they are buying gift cards from local business's to compete with the delivery fee's. While I would love a local business gift card, how are they saying this helps? Most business's dont have delivery drivers, hence the delivery service. Are they saying if you go pick it up and use the card its a way around it?

If I don't like the tip, I don't bring it.

I am not sure how it all works, but I assume the customer pays for the service and then you or other drivers have the option to take the order?

What if the driver doesn't do the best job with the delivery?

What if the driver is a complete a-hole to the point the customer doesn't feel they deserve the standard tip?

If a driver brings my order and has a bad attitude, etc.. They don't deserve to get the same amount as someone who is more professional.

Pretty sure you can't use a restaurant gift card directly though apps like Waitr, you'd use a Waitr/Doordash gift card on those services

Those apps do suck. The don’t pay drivers shite, charge restaurant has to raise prices to cover their 30% charge etc. All the profit goes to some mfers in NY or California. It’s like a reverse tax or something. They drain money out of local economy

The commercial's pretty disingenuous; Dominos & other pizza places had to have taken huge hits when apps made it possible to order decent human food.

I get the problem with fees (thanks to helpful answers on this thread), but the commercial just tells you to "order directly" from restaurants that don't have their own delivery drivers.

Let people compete for your business, fatass. This is America.

Let me clarify a few things as I have made deliveries for UberEats, Grubhub and Waitr. Uber gives the driver an estimated delivery fee up front, including the tip. The buyer has up to one hour to add or delete the estimated tip. I have gotten more than estimated, but never less. Grubhub has the fee listed which includes the tip. No ability to change it either way that I know of. Waitr is crooked and cheap and takes part of the tip, regardless of what they say. Every Waitr order was 20 to sometimes 50% less profitable for the driver delivering similar items to the same neighborhoods. We are expected to believe it’s just coincidence that all Waitr patrons are just cheap. Needless to say, I no longer deliver through Waitr. It’s a good way to make pocket money on nights when I would just be sitting at home getting fat.
