What happens if nobody picks up my DoorDash order?

Correspondingly, what happens if you don't deliver DoorDash food?
Doordash used to have a 'mark as undeliverable' button, which was nice because if you waited out the time limit it gave you, the customer couldn't give you a bad rating. But yeah. If they don't answer, the food is yours.
Similarly, does DoorDash pay you for waiting? The simple and straight-forward answer to that is a big NO. It would be terrific if they did, but unfortunately they don't. This has got to be one of the biggest problems working for this on-demand food delivery company.
Also asked, can a DoorDash driver cancel order?
If possible, try to avoid cancelling an order as it can affect your restaurant's rating on DoorDash. Additionally, you will not be paid for any order you cancel. If you have a unique situation requiring you to cancel the order, please contact support at 855-973-1040.
Will DoorDash leave food on porch?
Yes you can. There are many reasons that someone may not want to go to the door to pick up their food. Once you order your food, leave a note in the section provided for the dasher, or you have an option to send a note to the dasher through their communication/message platform.
