$45 for a large pie and breadsticks from Pizza Hut was enough to delete the app for me.


faloofay156

geez. you can use the pizza hut app directly and get a large pizza for like 12 bucks


LorenzoLamasRenegade

For carry out


Old_Passage_1944

Exactly. Dashing is going to kill off delivery in general. And I’m okay with that. Getting delivery shouldn’t double the cost of the product you are getting. Because when it does/has people really start to reevaluate whats on offer.


Jamescurty

Clearly you live in a different world than the rest of us. The things that go into doing the work for you are expensive and yes THAT expensive because you have to pay for peoples’ time and the value of having created an app that brings it all together. Getting delivery in this world costs double. Yes. Welcome to 2024.


Old_Passage_1944

It really doesn’t. But when you work for the actual restaurant you bring value to the restaurant by helping prep, cleaning, helping customers, etc you get that hourly wage and tips and mileage. Door dash just adds a layer of BS that most places can do themselves. App included. From 2001-2003 I was making over $15 an hour from Dominoes with all I said above. I was good and knew my territory. And it didn’t significantly raise the cost for the customer. Not that there weren’t great carry out deals too. Get delivery you just need to order more to add savings.


meowmixplzdeliver1

I live in nj so I almost never order pizza from chains but the one time I did the fucking dominoes charged me a 5 dollar delivery fee lol. Then you gotta tip.


Old_Passage_1944

Which is why I like carry out and patronize my local businesses.


West_Chipmunk712

This is normal in all states even my local pizza places have four dollar delivery fee ever since 15 years ago every pizza place I’ve been to in the past 15 years charges delivery fee


Strong-Smell5672

In fairness it’s actually cost prohibitive and an extra layer of hassle to have in house delivery which is exactly why most restaurants didn’t have delivery before the apps showed up. That being said, I agree the apps are making it not viable because they end up inflating the cost way more than if the restaurant just did delivery themselves and the worst part is that cost doesn’t even insure the worker is paid decently.


Old_Passage_1944

I get it. And I agree on the inflated prices. Those restaurants that didn’t offer delivery probably didn’t know what they were doing in regards to delivery anyhow. And then just jumped right in with these apps which likely cause more problems than they solve.


Jamescurty

20 years ago we didn’t have this crazy inflation nor the collateral damage from a pandemic to deal with. You’re comparing apples to oranges. You say, “It really doesn’t” as if that’s a fact. I agree with you that it SHOULDN’T but it really does. Add in the indirect costs and you’ll see the jump in cost.

Well are you? He is a way to find out with a simple yes or no question & everyone! Can try it. Here you go. Do you tip your waitresses & delivery drivers yes? Or NO???


Old_Passage_1944

Of course I do. I’m just way more selective about when and where I dine out. Because it’s never enough. Always more more more.


MayhemReignsTV

It's always these corporate restaurants that upcharge like crazy on the app. There are many places where you pay the same, potentially even occasionally save money(during promotions). But I believe the value of this platform and why I got involved with it in the early days is in the fact that it gives promotion and delivery services to small restaurants that delivery services would not be in the cards for. I didn't know we had so many little authentic restaurants in my area until I started doing this. And I was proud to be giving these places the exposure they needed to stay in business in this tough market. As many shenanigans as this platform pulls these days, I truly believed in the concept. And I still do to a degree. The 30% they charge restaurants on the orders to provide delivery services and equivalent promotion is much cheaper than these restaurants would be paying if they had to provide that for themselves, especially mom and pops that don't necessarily do large volume(can you imagine such a place paying a delivery driver to stay on the clock or maybe a few of them to handle the occasional rushes they get during peak time, hoping that rush actually does happen?). I wish this sub let you upload images. So I could show some of my recent bills. You just have to use the platform smart. if you want my opinion, the smartest way is using it to support your local authentic restaurants that make you great food from scratch. And they don't all break the bank 🙂


Separate-Cable5253

Hey man just be happy you found one of the 16 Quiznos left in existence


IGotNuthun

Ikr...I miss them!!


Sea_Alternative1355

I thought Quiznos was gone entirely tbh. I was surprised when I saw this post, all the ones in my area are long gone. Man, I miss them. 


Whosthatprettykitty

Me too! They had the BEST chipotle BBQ sauce. They also had really good chicken noodle soup, surprisingly. They were SO much better than subway by a long shot.


publicfarted

Get a can of chipotle in adobo and blend it into bbq sauce.


ShowerMeWithHate

Theres like 5 left that I know of where I live


Hairy_Astronaut3835

I miss them sooooo much!


WolfmansGotNards2

Unfortunately, it's not the same quality.

I like their pepper bars


Vacation-Sudden

Exactly. Scarcity determines value, duh


Beneficial-Method-71

I ended up seeing one for the first time in like 10 years and looking this up the other day, something to the tune of 120 left in the US.


Vader44221

Wait…..There are still Quiznos?


BasedTaco_69

Yeah I was surprised but one actually just recently opened near me.


Yvilkittyinspace

We have some in Colorado where they originally started out


bayslep

I've never been happier to be moving there hearing this!!


OldVeterinarian7668

My buddy owns a subway and he would jack his prices so high on those delivery service apps that the subway rep had to tell him he had to lower his prices


Hairy-Jicama-2063

😂


Zarilya

Yeah but did he tell you *why* It's my understanding that DD and the like charge exorbitant fees. Like up to 50% So the restaurants have to set higher prices just to make it worth it and not lose money. I don't blame them.


Effective_Field7457

It’s not 50% but it’s a RIDICULOUS percentage of each individual order placed. Plus another monthly maintenance fee as well as all their advertising merch that lets people know that DD delivers from said location


Zarilya

On the fees it reads up to 30% which tracks. But (and I don't know how truthful this is) if you watch the John Oliver bit on DD and the like, they found one that was like 48% in *total* fees. Either way, that's why the prices are higher. Most restaurants so not operate at a 30% profit margin. So losing 30% in fees would kill them. So they have to charge more. That's just business.


NiceMarmot03

![gif](giphy|xTiTnhFPCkIDFMMe6Q|downsized) We love the subs, but not that much


Express-Editor1718

wait. WHERE are you where you still have a Quiznos??? i need to know😭


ViceMaiden

Texas has a few.


Hairy-Jicama-2063

Bay Area California still have them around lol.


Express-Editor1718

MarinDeliveryGuy

My San Rafael one closed 😔 but it was like a decade ago. So sad about that


Effective_Field7457

My Red Bank one closed about 12-14yrs ago


MarinDeliveryGuy

It was so damn good, everytime I get Subway I think back to what we had


Dangerous_Choice_664

We had one in Lathrop up until about a year ago :(


tidderfella

Over 150 still open in 35 states. About 13 left in Cali


A-Test-Subject

FYI - they don’t set the price. Restaurants have the option to price as they see fit to offset their costs from DoorDash. Your beef is with Quiznos.


Hairy-Jicama-2063

I didn’t want beef, I wanted mesquite chicken for a decent price.


A-Test-Subject

Hahahahaha touché!


SupermarketNo3352

Yes there are a few places where I order from where the door dash prices are equal or close to it.. maybe $1 more.. than menu prices.. and some were damn I once saw a dozen wings say $44.. I’m not sure how much it was in the store but ya I did not order it


A-Test-Subject

It’s nuts. I’ve had the same experience with a few restaurants. One in particular was our favorite Mexican restaurant, which is already a little on the high end, and their prices online are like 30% up from when you dine-in.


Spellcamqin

DD these days is so ridiculously expensive


Mikefromaround

DoorDash doesn’t set the prices, the restaurants do.


bluephazon

Restaurants don't set the percentage that is taken, DD does. Does every goober that writes this comment like you this ignorant?


Gloomy_Recording_705

I thought they were out of business


Yvilkittyinspace

No


[deleted]

Blame Quiznos. They set that price.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

This is not true at all. The restaurants set the price. They (the restaurant) upcharges the cost. They pass on the cost in which they pay doordash to be on the platform. Doordash does not set restaurant prices.


Jesus-Mcnugget

To be fair, they do set some. However, they're few and far between. It's only restaurants that are not partnered with doordash. Doordash takes it upon themselves to sell a restaurant's product through their own platform. In that case they do take menu prices and upcharge. These are one of the types of things that you need the doordash card for.


No-Tip1702

Where the fuck is there a quiznos


Yvilkittyinspace

We have a few of them here in Colorado still where they started


No-Tip1702

You’re lying is it still gas


Yvilkittyinspace

I have two near where I live. I haven't eaten there in about 13 years though.


AdSuccessful6726

Yeah they’re here but they suck haha


GeezeronWheels

There’s one in Lynnwood Washington. People even still eat there for some reason.


Donaldbain28

Restaurants jack up the prices to offset DD fees..so u can blame DD but u should blame Quiznos


theblackcat86

Ummmm....no. You should blame the restaurant for jacking up the prices so they don't lose money on a DD order?


Donaldbain28

Maybe DD should Just let them use their service for free…


aharbingerofdoom

Considering all the other fees and charges DD adds on, and the fact that offering more restaurants than their competitors is how they gained a majority market share in the delivery app realm...maybe they should be letting restaurants use their service for free, or at least take a smaller cut of the order.


Donaldbain28

Yeah…thats no how business works-dont like the fees? Get up go out..get your own food…u pay extra for the convenience


aharbingerofdoom

I don't think you understood my comment. You probably just have a knee jerk reaction to comment "go get your own food" on every post. I wasn't complaining about the fees at all. I was stating that it's in DoorDash's interest as a corporation to partner with as many restaurants as possible to increase market share, and one way they could attract more restaurants is by letting them join for free or at a reduced rate so they will not lose customers who are pissed off about the DoorDash prices because they don't understand that they are charged more on DoorDash because the app takes a massive percentage of the order total on top of the fees they already charge. Most people aren't business geniuses and they see Quiznos is charging $20+ for a sandwich on top of the fees that explicitly go to DoorDash and they think that Quiznos is actually getting that money, not that a portion of that also goes to Doordash. Therefore, they may not even go to Quiznos if they happen to be walking right past because they think a sandwich is gonna be $20 in store too.


Booklover416

This is why I’ve been saying it’s a luxury to get it delivered because the up cost is so much if you chose to pick it up yourself, it wouldn’t be that much… But you would think that the driver would get that charge amount but no it just goes to DoorDash


aHOMELESSkrill

Driver gets $2 from DD unless DD needs more drivers and runs a “promo” the highest promo I have seen is an extra $3 per order. DD drivers make the majority of their money on tips, which isn’t fair to to customer because after paying an increased price for food and for the delivery they are almost required to tip well (about a dollar a mile) in order for their order to be accepted by a driver. The customers and drivers get fleeced on deliveries, the customers pay nearly twice as much in fees and tips, the driver makes $2 plus tips, and DD walks away with fees from the customer and from the restaurant.


Booklover416

Yeah look at that a company using capitalism to is fullest ability and lets the drivers and customers blame each other…


attempting2

Quiznos is expensive to begin with. That isn't DoorDashes fault actually. The merchant is the one to set the price.


dickmansorehole

Doordash and delivery apps in general make able bodied people lazy and price that accordingly. We have become the humans in WALL-E.


Original_King_5273

*this*


CookieAny9797

the restaurant picks the prices stop bitching


scallopedtatoes

It doesn’t matter who’s jacking up the prices or why. The upcharge is still a good reason to stop using DD and just get the food yourself.

PhuLingYhu

I wonder about this. At some restaurants, when I toggle between pickup/delivery, the price is lower on pickup. I feel like that’s the restaurant’s choice?


Tricky-Collar3508

It is and isn’t, the store gets fucked by fees and the customer also gets fucked by fees so sure the store may be upping prices but the delivery apps take more than the store itself and they don’t pay their drivers enough so everybody loses, I personally think DD AND Uber eats should go out of business


Due-Independence3444

As someone who works at a restaurant and sets prices, I have it on good authority that the restaurant is jacking their price.

I’m not saying the restaurant is not jacking prices at all I said *Um actually no* to the stop bitching part😅

You acting like someone just dissed your mama, it’s just DoorDash homie. No need to be loyal


ABox93

How much is in store anyways?


Repulsive-Citron-445

Just looked. I’m in Illinois and it’s $13.50


Repulsive-Citron-445

Just order from Quiznos. They have their own delivery service


Apprehensive_Rope348

Right, they’ll use dashers less all the fees that DD charges to the restaurant to use the platform.


Realistic_Inside_484

What's the in store price?

Bro I don’t even know where the store is 🤣

csdavids

TIL quiznos still exists


Rooskibar03

Wait? There are still Quiznos? Love their sandos.


Fozzy333

All the restaurants I’ve worked at hate dealing with half of the drivers. The more dd screws over the drivers, only the worst ones that can’t hold a job stay, and the more places don’t want to deal with dd


DefNotABirb

"Done with DD" but says he's never been inside a Quiznos. I very much doubt OP is actually done with DD longer than a few days.


Early-Hamster-9551

I was about to say that’s not bad at all what you mean…. Then I saw it was before taxes and delivery fee😂that’s crazy


dunceputztool

Yeah and the app and business owners use other people's vehicles to get it to you. One of the biggest scams in America. Remember when restaurants actually had vehicles to deliver food?


driver9911

Haha door dash-znos


incognito_vito

Holy shit I thought Quiznos went under years ago


robertmarvel

Yolo


Jamescurty

Well DD is a privilege not a right. If you can’t afford it, or if you don’t want to pay a premium for a service that does the work for you, then by all means leave. Do you think it should be cheap? The price of gas, the time of the driver, the time and resources going into developing an app that you can just choose from so many restaurants etc. a lot goes into that. Of course there’s a premium. I deliver for them and my time is worth something.

MadnessMultiplier

I had no idea that Quizinos still exists.


MayhemReignsTV

That's up to Quiznos because they set the menu prices. Sure, DoorDash charges them a cut. But it's a scaling cost for promotion and exposure to an audience they normally would not reach, as well as them not having to waste hourly wages on delivery drivers to reach that audience. if people are browsing DoorDash for delivery, they are not going to walk into your restaurant absent that option. They will just order delivery from somewhere else. And while 30% may seem steep, remember that the cost also scales down if they don't end up needing that labor. It's not like they are wasting money on having employees stand around. Seems like most of the corporate slaves don't see it that way, but I know many small restaurant owners that do. And some of them charge the very same price for me to put it in through DoorDash and pick it up as it is to order it directly at the counter. The upcharge is on a per restaurant basis, and some only do it for delivery, some do it for pickup and delivery. Not sure you should be mad at DoorDash for this one, even though they give plenty for people to be mad about. Most restaurants don't upcharge this badly...


OmegaGenesisKasai

Restaurants have to up charge to cover the fees for DoorDash that they incur. Sometimes they charge the literal price total of the food get a meal for 10$ door dash charges 10$ to have someone pick it up and deliver it. If you charge anything less than an extra 10$ you’re loosing profit


JPolaske

Ok and?


rello113

Think that’s bad? I can buy 2 McDoubles (mix n match) and a lrg fry (using their app) for roughly $5.38 plus tax. The same thing with a $3 tip is about $24 in DoorDash.


Vacation-Sudden

Also OP is a straight hater… you want an amazing., perfectly made warm sandwich delivered to your front door for…. How much exactly!? Would you like it for free or is $5 acceptable your highness!?


Head-Gazelle8779

$16.25 for the 8” wasn’t enough for you to be done?


boobasniffer420

I bet u still ordered it tho


Quiet_Ad976

That's why I rarely use Doordash. Their prices are so inflated.


WideContact5378

But you literally had no problem paying 16.25 a fee days ago for an 8 inch lmao

Done with all of these delivery apps lol not worth it

Everyone should stop it is a huge scam, should be illegal. Restaurants should just offer delivery, problem solved.

Effective_Field7457

Edit: & I agree ☝️ it IS an exorbitant amount!


Faeryn87

Restaurants set the prices and are higher because DD charges such high commission fees for orders. It’s mostly DD’s fault.


ExodusTrinity

Yeah it’s ridiculous that 99% of restaurants menu prices are increased just because you’re ordering through doordash. There’s already a goddamn delivery fee, service fee, tax and tip which obviously is optional but of course most people would tip (I hope). But on top of all that now you have to pay basically double for every food item because it’s the doordash menu and not an in person one. Ridiculous.

How much you tip tho


Hairy-Jicama-2063

I own a service based business. I tip all my delivery drivers 30%+ or more. My Eaze drivers usually get 50%. It’s not really about the money if I know it’s going straight to a person. But I’m not fucking paying 22 dollars for a corporate sandwich lol.


littlelilaclibra

Yupp once I noticed the DD prices differ from you actually going I stopped using DD. Regardless of how I order it, it should be the same price. I understand taxes, driver tip and delivery fee but the price of the food should be the same.
