App like Doordash

Doordash story

Doordash is so successful that it recently acquired 🤝 the Finnish delivery app Wolt in a €7bn all-stock deal.

Crazy, right?

Doordash inspired many entrepreneurs to be a part of this amazing ecosystem.

I think you must be one of them. If not, you wouldn't be here reading this article.

Anyway, we're glad you found this post because it was created with the same care as Doordash treats its customers.

Let's cut to the chase and discuss how you can be the next big player in the food delivery market by creating your own Doordash like app.

How Doordash works?

• The customer, when hungry, would open the Doordash app to browse through the restaurants.
• Then, they pick the restaurant of their choice and select the food items to order.
• After selecting the food items, they would choose the payment and delivery options. Then place the order.
• The order request will be then sent to the restaurant. The restaurant will accept the order request and process the order.
• Once the order is processed, the app assigns the delivery request to nearby delivery partners.
• The nearby delivery partner will get notified to pick up the order. They can either accept or reject the delivery request.
• Once the order is accepted, the delivery partner will be given a route map to the restaurant to collect the order.
• After collecting the order, the delivery partner will be given a route map to the customer's location on the app.
• The delivery partner will reach the customer's location to hand over their delicious order. [Yummy!😋]
• Customers can rate the delivery partner based on the delivery experience. But the customer has an additional option to rate the restaurant based on their food quality, packaging, & more.

This is the way the cookie crumbles!
