Doordash is an online food ordering and delivery platform that lets you order food and drinks from restaurants within your neighborhood. The food is delivered by freelancers that are not affiliated with the restaurant. This makes delivery quick and easy, as the food and drinks are delivered to your doorstep within minutes of making an order. Let us know ‘How To See Address Before Accepting Doordash?’.
How To See Address Before Accepting Doordash?
To become a Doordash driver or a Dash as they are popularly called two addresses are of utmost importance to your success as a delivery agent. These addresses are where you will be picking the food from and where you will be dropping it off. Again, Doordash takes the stress of letting you know how much you will earn for the delivery and the distance between the restaurant and the customer.
Interestingly, Doordash makes it easy to locate the delivery address as this is what determines whether you will accept to deliver the food or not. When a Doordash offer comes, you won’t see the customer’s exact address accepting; however, the app will place a pin on the customer’s location on the map and with that, you will be able to know the location of delivery and decide on whether to accept or decline the offer.
After accepting the order, Doordash will then provide you with the exact address of the customer. Accepting the order also helps you to see the delivery status as it helps you to know if it is a leave-at-the-door order or an order where you have to hand the food directly to the customer.
Hence, when you get a delivery notification all you have to do is to open the Doordash app and look for the little house icon and the business icon. The house icon represents the location you will be taking the food to while the business icon represents the restaurant that you will be picking it from. It is okay to reject an order if the customer’s location doesn’t fit in with where you want to go. It doesn’t affect your Dashing status and you are free to reject as many orders as possible when they don’t suit you.
How Long Does An Order Last?
Every time you sign in to your Doordash app, the system looks for orders to offer you and when you finally have an offer, you will immediately receive a notification as well as the details you need for a successful delivery. You have just 45 seconds to either accept or decline an offer. However, in some test markets, Dashers are sometimes given as much as 90 seconds to decline or accept an offer.
