DoorDash announced that independent restaurants in the U.S. can sign up for DoorDash and Caviar and pay zero commissions on orders for 30 days. Existing DoorDash restaurant partners will not pay commission fees on pickup orders, and delivery commission fees will be reduced as well. DoorDash is also delivering meals to medically fragile kids in New York City.
During this time of uncertainty, DoorDash wants to acknowledge the incredible efforts of the Dashers out on the roads, who work so hard to make mealtime magic happen in homes around the globe. To support the Dasher community, the company introduced a COVID-19 Financial Assistance Program, which will provide up to two weeks of assistance to eligible Dashers who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or who are subject to individual quarantine at the direction of public health officials. The program will be available globally in all of the markets the company serves in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, and Australia.
