Nuked Doordash will be reducing commission fees by 50 percent for orders placed on DoorDash and doordash-owned caviar. The commission relief program will begin on Monday, April 13th and run through the end of May.
The program will benefit more than 150,000 local restaurants in Australia, Canada, and the US. Doordash defines a local restaurant as one with five or fewer locations.
Doordash CEO Tony Xu said this is an’injection of up to $ 100 million’. But it appears the company is n’t giving anyone money directly.
If a local restaurant previously paid a $ 2.50 commission to DoorDash on an order, it would now pay $ 1.25 because of the reduced commission rate. Though the total value of reduced commissions exceeds $ 100 million before the end of May, the reduced commissions program would continue.
We’re reducing commissions for local restaurant partners by 50 % through the end of May. This injection of up to $ 100M is on top of our prior initiatives.
Doordash announced on March 17th that DoorDash and caviar partners would n’t have to pay commission fees on pickup orders. Independent restaurants in Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US could sign up for DoorDash for free and pay no commissions for 30 days.
