It operates as a mobile app and website, allowing users to browse menus, place orders, and have food delivered to their doorstep. The company partners with various restaurants and offers a wide range of cuisine options for delivery or pickup.The salary of a DoorDash driver, also known as a Dasher, can vary depending on several factors, including location, hours worked, order volume, tips, and personal efficiency. Notably, these employees are classified as independent contractors rather than employees, which means their earnings are not based on a fixed salary.
