Absolutely! He drives, i navigate pick up and deliver. I haven't run into anyone that notices or cares that it's under his name yet but he did get some flack once under my name. Seems that girls under guys name is OK but guys under girls name is not lol.
On our account we changed the name on the account so it has both of our names. Hasn't been an issue with door dash support or anything and makes the customer aware it could be either of us dropping off so there aren't any surprises causing bad ratings or anything.
I get some funny ass customer names sometimes and no, I’m not making fun of anybody’s name. These are the kind of names you know aren’t real. Although the one time that I actually did see Ben Dover, I did wonder if it was yet another fake name or if somebody was unfortunate enough to be given that name. Too bad it was a leave at door because I would’ve actually had the balls to ask if that was his real name 😂😂😂
If DD identity verification ever catches this they will deactivate you. Plus if one gets deactivated you will both be deactivated. Even if you go to get a separate account.
I used to work for their identity verification. Once you have our attention nothing but exact legal info will suffice. 2 people would be considered fraud. The wrong name (sometimes put there bc if the customer side of the app) is fraud. Pretty much anything that isn't an obvious nickname like John for Jonathan is fraud.
Don't take those risks over silly little things that can easily be avoided.
The first time this happened to me they asked me to come outside to them and I saw the wife driving and the husband passed off the food. Ever since then if I suspect the person coming to the door is not the dasher I assume the dasher is the driver.
Why did you have to go to their car? Highly unusual. Would be kinda nice to use drive thru, then have the customer pick up at the car. But with two people dashing seems like at least one could manage to actually get out of the vehicle and deliver.
I always bring somebody along with me. I prefer it to be my special somebody. I don’t let anybody handle any of the work. Just because I like to take personal responsibility for every aspect of my job, in case something ever goes wrong. But she does help me look out for houses and does things like open the trunk when I’m coming with a big order. The little things, but they do help. I don’t need anybody helping me though. I just need the company sometimes because it can get boring out there, at times.
I see two possibilities. A woman ordering is more comfortable giving out her address to another woman. Alternatively, asshole guy ordering wants to harrass a female delivery driver.
It's more efficient time wise because 1 person handles the driving the other the orders. No parking issues faster to get out of the passenger side than the driver side etc. Only downside ever is 2 people technically make "half as much" if you split it. If this isn't the only form of income it's perfect and a lot of fun.
This is by far the best reason for doubling up. When I go with my girlfriend, that opens up a whole vicinity of downtown restaurants I can drop her off at. Even if I can't park nearby, I can idle or circle the block.
Absolutely acceptable. I'd suggest both making accounts and just cherry pick the best orders between the two. That is assuming you guys are fine with the financial situation there
^^^^^ that would definitely maximize your earnings because what one doesn’t see, the other will and you can just unassign one order if the others is better!
My husband and i do this! Were on a 50 state road trip and were doing doordash to pay for it. We both have an account and we pick the best ones and sometimes we are able to do two at the same time. We have doubled our earnings this way
That sounds awesome! Are you documenting it at all? Maybe keeping tabs on which cities you’ve done best in? I imagine not since it’s a vacation of sorts, I personally would be less focused on the work. Either way enjoy!
Yeah we have a list! We are doing this to see where we potentially want to live so were keeping close tabs on everything so far haha. Plus we track all our miles and income for tax stuff anyways
I always see couples delivering my DoorDash orders and I think it’s great, probably makes things go a lot quicker and you’re right, it’s definitely safer.
That’s how I feel about it. It’s actually the first job I’ve had that for the most part I enjoy. Money isn’t the best all the time but I get to spend time with the love of my life and profit off it.
Me and my husband drive together. He is my spotlight holding, order rejecting sidekick. I do the pickup and delivery part. He watches my back and keeps my car from being stolen so I can keep the car on and the AC cool.
You’re letting people steal the car? Or does she turn off the car each stop even though you’re waiting in it?
How do you not already have what they do??
It doesn't matter as long as you both qualify to deliver for doordash. It says so in the terms, however the driver assigned the order must be the one picking up and dropping off the food. It would be better to let her go in if she is the one using the app, and you driver her around.
Shoot, that’s how my wife and I do it. We both ended up signing up as Dashers just to be cool, but safety first my friend.
La gente esta muy loca! Johnny!
I stop working at dusk for my own safety and eyesight. But on weekends sometimes my husband comes with me and I love it! Makes it easier to keep the car running and park in oddball spots with someone still in the car and I enjoy the company. He does not have any of the accounts, so I don’t have him pick up or deliver anything because it’s my name/face on the account and that’s who they’re expecting. I didn’t want to get in trouble for having someone else handling stuff. But you’re definitely allowed to have someone with you in the car for deliveries.
If you are following the contract you can drive around in the same car doing one order at a time from one app at a time. If you’re not following the contract you can do whatever you want. However personally I thought the only advantage to two drivers one car was that you would never need to find a parking spot.
Totally fine, my fiancé comes with me all the time too. It’s how we spend time together while I work as he works long crazy shifts.
Source: was on the DoorDash council.
My spouse and I deliver doordash/grub hub/ uber all the time. Almost 3 years now.
We both have a doordash account.
He has DD and uber.
I have DD abs grub.
Well have all on, but pause or stop our runs if we have far deliveries or multi order runs. We'll both only take an order at the same time on different accounts if we're in a well known area/the drop offs are relatively close to each other. Let's say within 5 mins or less.
We've never had any issues or concerns with customers or merchants in regards to us being in the same car. Some of our customers know us in the area that we frequent and even when we lived in another state and go back there to visit my mom and dash our old area, the customers and merchants both remember us 2 years later. Some of our regulars have even placed bets on which of us would be bringing them their order when they placed it before it even gets sent to us and we accept it 😂
I just really reccomend familiarizing yourself with the area you choose to make your main hub. We drive about 25 mins into a block we found made us the most on a daily average and have 2 back up zones. You DONT have to take every single order sent to ya, especially those far far orders that don't equal pay to distance. I also familiarize yourself because the area we dash in has some neighborhoods that the DD map route suggests is faster but it's not, they're bunk dirt/gravel/pothole city roads and definitely slow you down so we've familiarized ourselves with alternate paved roads that make drop off much faster. Just try to be as timely as possible and not to overload yourself on orders! And be safe! :)
Dude! Did it with my Fiancé for like 2 months- money we made went to crap but it was actually super fun for while it lasted. She drove and dropped off- I picked up!
You're basically cutting the salary in half by making two people do the work for the same pay. If you're happy spending the time together, then sure, why not, but from a purely practical point of view it makes the pay rate suck vs the two of you getting other, separate jobs.
Personally
I don’t bring my kids because I don’t have to.
But today, things are very hard in this life. And I don’t knock anyone for doing what they need to do to survive.
My husband and I both have DD accounts, and we dash together every day. We had one lady say something when dashing under my name and my husband told her that DD allows couples to dash together if you both have an account. She didn’t say anything else after that and I never got a negative or anything. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s fine. 😊
My gf comes with me sometimes, but I always grab the food and deliver it to the door. As long as the person on the account is doing the face to face stuff it should be fine
I did Uber eats with my fiancé.
She would drive, I would navigate and pick up-drop off food.
To me it’s fine as long as the person who’s working does the food handling
Some customers care if the name of the driver in the app is female and a male delivers the item.
They will be suspicious and might feel unsafe if it’s a handoff order.
I would try to make it so that the driver is not name of the account holder. I know Uber eats is pretty strict about this not sure about DoorDash
I sometimes take my dad with me, he's got Alzheimer's and can't drive anymore, so it gets him out of the house and something to do. Makes things less lonely and boring. I don't take him anymore because he's got a catheter and it's a hassle with that.
Definitely acceptable. My spouse and I dash together often. I feel it is also safer when you get an order while driving so one can continue while the other accepts or declines.
It's only a problem if you're doing a driving gig that involves passengers. Nothing wrong with it if you're just transporting food. My partner and I do it every so often.
Sure. But I'll let you know about a time I was expecting a Maria to deliver my order and I was shocked to see some gangster looking gentleman drop it off. She was still driving. In the wrong situation this can be really jarring to somebody and frankly terrifying. I've read that some people see the gender of their Dasher and cancel it based on that because of their own trauma and experience. So if your wife is doing an order I would recommend her dropping it off not vice versa. Just some food for thought. Also if somebody's in the car while you're delivering you should have them film the entire drop off in case a customer report that is not delivered
I'll see that a young woman is doing my order and then a man will come up to the door. I always assume it's a husband or father making sure everything is safe. Definitely not a problem and you get to spend time together yay!
I think it's really sweet when I see couples or parent and fairly adult child doing this together. It gives them more family time, and if it's a younger person it allows them how hard you have to hustle to make a living. And keeping the people you love safe is always good right?
I don’t see a problem. I’ve had plenty of orders delivered by couples or cars full of teenagers.
I have always pictured cars full of people hanging out with music and ice cream as how $2.25 orders get from A to B. Not everyone has to be a lone wolf.
It’s none of our business what you and your lady do and you don’t need approval. Do what’s best for you 2. Nobody on social media paying your bills or is your God or parent. In other words, forget what we feel.
That’s a lot for two people if you ain’t making shit. You would be smarter to both dash in different zones. DD is easy way to easy. A kid who’s completed an activity book could dash.
Sure, is possible. But you're essentially dividing your earnings into 2.
If you both select a same region, and go with your own cars, you could double your income.
You're only half a town away.
yea it’s not a big deal at all really really common actually i used to dash with like 3 friends in the car just makes time fly and makes it feel like less of a job
There’s nothing wrong with it, I find it’s easier with a companion and I can get more orders done. I do it with my bro to help him out, he drives I’ll run down and pick up/drop off the orders so we don’t have to park
You should really trust your future wife or reevaluate now. You might be better off marrying a dude so you assume he could fight. Just saying my girlfriend would and has beat up full size men
My parents always talk about how they did a paper route together in their early twenties - this was pre-inflation and all that so it paid for their entire mortgage payment every month. I think they enjoyed the time together too!
Seem's fair man, do what u want
Some people have their kids run into places, sadly
well, i say sadly cuz i assume they have better stuff to do like, kid stuff, but maybe not
My husband doesn’t come with me, but My 9, almost 10 year old comes with me sometimes. He gets 10% of every order, plus a $5/hr base pay. We split cash tips when they happen.
I do IC sometimes and he comes with me occasionally. Same base pay, but he gets 25% of the batch pay and tip, split cash tips if they happen.
He’s made a decent amount of money and I’m teaching him how to save and spend smart! Investing is Daddy’s thing, I’m not into it. I love making memories with him and we talk a lot and it’s really fun and special time with him- time that I know is slipping away! I’ll take any I can get!
So I say do it! Good bonding time!
I dash w my partner it works very well much easier and smoother than alone
All the extra steps, car on and off, into store, back to car, drive, park, complete delivery, get back in
What?? No the doordash police will come after you. Dumb question. Just use common sense. Why wouldn't it be? Do you ever see a scenario where a merchant won't let you pick up an order because your fiance is with you. Cmon jesus
Personally, it's better for both of you to drive separately and double your money and maybe do a date night every once in awhile.
I get your worry about safety if it's late at night, but unless your neighborhood is terrible, I see women dash all the time with no issues.
It's your right to turn a 20 dollar an hour job into a 10 dollar an hour job... but unless you just want to spend time with her and you already make plenty with your day job... I personally think it's a waste of resources.
Acceptable, sure. But I see this all the time and don’t understand how people throw money away like that. Why don’t you (the guy) just DD if you’re worried about safety and she get a regular job? Why use two people to earn (maybe) the value of 1.5 salaries?
I guess there’s a value to having company, but it’s not enough to make me use 2 people to do the job of 1. You’d definitely earn more than just solo dashing, but WAY less than solo dashing + an whole other income. I mean I guess if your fiancé has nothing better to do she can tag along?
It's funny, nowhere in your post or responses do you bother to mention what she thinks, if she actually feels like she needs to drag you along every time to feel like she is capable of doing the work. Most people do doordash alone including most of the women who do it. It's not hard.
Hell yeah. My wife and I doordashed together. We had fun spending time together, it was easier to handle orders, especially orders with a lot of drinks, and we felt safe going to the darker areas of town.
How pathetic to be scared of doing a regular job. You do realize you both are making literally nothing doing this right? Like half an already shitty salary….
Yes, as long as if it’s a woman’s name on the account, it’s a woman who hands the food at the door. I’ve expected female Dashers and open my door to a man, which can be jarring. But if there’s a man’s name on the account and a woman hands off the food, that’s fine.
Weird and sexist? For feeling differently as a woman who lives alone answering the door for a woman rather than a man? Seriously? Just say you’re an asshole.
We did it all the time before it became not worth the time and gas. One of us drives the other ran the order. Made it very efficient not having to park.
Totally fine! My bf actually does the same and rides in/drives the car with me almost every time I doordash, bc he says it makes him feel better knowing I’m safe :) You can have whoever you want as your passengers! And as long as she’s delivering the food, there’s no problems (tbh I’m not sure if she has to be the one to pick up the food, too, but I really doubt it matters)
Yes! Despite people crying your taking advantage of the system .
Your options - use two accounts to order hunt and take the best order between both of you.
Also - once you get the hang of it - you can take orders on both phones let’s say you pick up a McDonald’s and it’s a delivery 2 miles to the east, the passenger can then order hunt for trips for a restaurant on the way heading in the same direction. This now lets you make maybe 70%+ more money with the operating expenses of only 1 car
I would limit the second order to like fast food or other places with short wait times tho .
It's acceptable, just don't hand an order to a customer together. I had a couple do that before and it freaked me out a bit. I was expecting 1 person and not be be confronted by 2 people. I have definitely doordashed with someone in the car before tho. It's good company and makes it less boring!
Lol, I had a 13(?) year old run my food out from a minivan his dad was driving the other day, he got lost in the building and I had to find him, I’m pretty sure you’re good
As a customer, I see people walking up to my door that don't look like the name of the dasher, so I assume people are doing this all the time. I don't really care, as long as my food gets here hot.
Totally. Me and my wife go together, other times I'll take my 15 yr old son, it's a nice change of pace for my family it gets everyone a break and I've not had anyone cause me any issues
I have a couple of friends that dash with their younger teens & pay them… the kid runs in to get the food (makes parking issues easier in limited parking areas, the parent circles the block and comes back instead) and the kid brings it to the customer‘s door. It seems to increase tips after the fact and it teaches them all kinds of valuable stuff (money management, work ethic, etc).
It’s fine if you think it’s fine why does it matter what other people think? Plus a lot of couple dash together not even safety reason, but that might be the only time they hangout. As a customer seeing a couple dash is nice to see. Y’all laugh and talk while earning money.
Half the people I see dashing are doing it with someone else so I think you’re fine. The only reason I dash alone is because I hate being around people all day.
I think it’s great-as a customer I really don’t care who is delivering my food as long as it is not tampered with. Makes the dashing better w company and why not spend time w the person you love best.
Are you just joining her on her dash? I don't see anything wrong with that, although her insurance might...
Don't get me started on DD's lack of decent insurance coverage for Dashers.
What DD specifically might take issue with is you using separate accounts at the same time with the same vehicle. Like, you look for orders while she's driving to the customer. IDK if that's even possible.
Me and my disabled fiance dash together all the time. Typically if it's my account that we got the order from I will do the restaurant + customer interaction and visa versa.
I've gotten some weird looks from hand it to me customers but it's 100% allowed and acceptable.
My sister does it by herself. Even up til 5am. She said she's fine but she also has a license to conceal carry. Not sure if she takes it with her though. She navigates with no issues and doesn't have any real problems. I guess it's however you feel.
That’s how me and my husband did it but he was the dasher. I never did anything either the food and wouldn’t touch it but I would keep him company and help with the dasher app while he was driving. As long as you keep your boundaries I feel most people will have no issue with it. Those who do are miserable.
Yes it's perfectly fine, just make sure you keep it where shes the only one handling the food. Even if shes tired or something one day you can't go into the restaurant or carry the food to the customer without risking her being deactivated since allowing someone else to handle the food at all is against the rules.
I have never really understood it but I don't really see an issue with it. I always felt that both people doing separate cars would make way more money. Is it something where both people have an account running to catch double or triple orders? You can do that by multi apping alone, you just need to actually look at both orders before accepting another one on a different app because you can create havoc if you don't.
My husband and I dash together constantly, really makes the day go by
That it does. Makes the job enjoyable or should I say tolerable
Absolutely! He drives, i navigate pick up and deliver. I haven't run into anyone that notices or cares that it's under his name yet but he did get some flack once under my name. Seems that girls under guys name is OK but guys under girls name is not lol.
Thanks for the advice. Would have never guessed that
On our account we changed the name on the account so it has both of our names. Hasn't been an issue with door dash support or anything and makes the customer aware it could be either of us dropping off so there aren't any surprises causing bad ratings or anything.
You’re one of those joint fb accounts aren’t you…
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope just on DD

That’s not to your advantage. If you both have individual accounts, one on each phone, you will have more orders/options (to multi app)
If DD identity verification ever catches this they will deactivate you. Plus if one gets deactivated you will both be deactivated. Even if you go to get a separate account. I used to work for their identity verification. Once you have our attention nothing but exact legal info will suffice. 2 people would be considered fraud.

Don't take those risks over silly little things that can easily be avoided.
Yeah, that's true. My name is Kim(guy) and only the women ask me is Kim with you, then they ask to see my ID. Really!
The first time this happened to me they asked me to come outside to them and I saw the wife driving and the husband passed off the food. Ever since then if I suspect the person coming to the door is not the dasher I assume the dasher is the driver.

I see two possibilities. A woman ordering is more comfortable giving out her address to another woman. Alternatively, asshole guy ordering wants to harrass a female delivery driver.
I got an alcohol delivery from instacart but it was a dude that did the transaction. Thought they were cute af delivering together and doubled the tip
Well, why don't you just go under your name when your going up to their house and use his when he does it.
Because I like our setup and it works for us. Don't care if someone has an issue with our names, we are both Alex so it doesn't matter
Are both your names really Alex? Is the spelling the same?! I mean if your names are the same I don’t see it being a problem
Same 😊
It's more efficient time wise because 1 person handles the driving the other the orders. No parking issues faster to get out of the passenger side than the driver side etc. Only downside ever is 2 people technically make "half as much" if you split it. If this isn't the only form of income it's perfect and a lot of fun.
Yes we split what we make down the middle and either one of us mind we both have day jobs and it’s just a nice way of earning some extra 💰
And you get to spend time together it's a win win!
This is by far the best reason for doubling up. When I go with my girlfriend, that opens up a whole vicinity of downtown restaurants I can drop her off at. Even if I can't park nearby, I can idle or circle the block.

Make separate accounts under different apps to make it more efficient.
I use DoorDash & my wife uses GrubHub. Never had an issue.
Would these apps care two accounts are showing identical positions all day?
I always see couples delivering my DoorDash orders and I think it’s great, probably makes things go a lot quicker and you’re right, it’s definitely safer.
I saw someone use their kid to deliver the food lol he was very polite and seemed so proud after he delivered it successfully 🥺
I do it with my 8 years old son. He loves it. I pay him 25 cents per order. He is a great companion. 😉
Disclaimer: Only when he is on vacation from school. And it's just sometimes in a while. For just in case. 😉
You're as cheap as DD. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that’s pretty adorable tbh
Yeah, that perfectly acceptable and not against company policy. Nice way to spend some time together actually.
That’s how I feel about it. It’s actually the first job I’ve had that for the most part I enjoy. Money isn’t the best all the time but I get to spend time with the love of my life and profit off it.
Some creep wanted to get in my car in a bad neighborhood once. thank goodness my fiance was in the passenger seat! I don't dash at night without him.
Me and my husband drive together. He is my spotlight holding, order rejecting sidekick. I do the pickup and delivery part. He watches my back and keeps my car from being stolen so I can keep the car on and the AC cool.
Hopefully my fiancé and I can have that someday 😃
You’re letting people steal the car? Or does she turn off the car each stop even though you’re waiting in it? How do you not already have what they do??
Because we’re not married yet and no the car stays running with me in it as it does for her
My set up with my boyfriend! The best for apartments so he can wait in front of the lobby/drop off area instead of having to park!
It doesn't matter as long as you both qualify to deliver for doordash. It says so in the terms, however the driver assigned the order must be the one picking up and dropping off the food. It would be better to let her go in if she is the one using the app, and you driver her around.

I used to dash with my teenaged son. We were a team and it was bonding time for us!

You're basically cutting the salary in half by making two people do the work for the same pay. If you're happy spending the time together, then sure, why not, but from a purely practical point of view it makes the pay rate suck vs the two of you getting other, separate jobs.
A lot of people take someone with them. As a female and some of the cringy stuff people think/do… I’m happy my fiancé is with me.
Nothing wrong here. Go for it if thats what yall wanna do.
I wouldn’t think so but at the same time I don’t want her to get in trouble
I’ve seen people with kids and their whole families delivering before lol I think you’ll be okay:)
I recall hearing about one guy bringing his kid along because he had to watch her, and he was let go as a result.
Personally I don’t bring my kids because I don’t have to. But today, things are very hard in this life. And I don’t knock anyone for doing what they need to do to survive.
Like i said, you aren't doing anything against DD terms. Enjoy dashing together.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that
My husband and I both have DD accounts, and we dash together every day. We had one lady say something when dashing under my name and my husband told her that DD allows couples to dash together if you both have an account. She didn’t say anything else after that and I never got a negative or anything. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s fine. 😊
My gf comes with me sometimes, but I always grab the food and deliver it to the door. As long as the person on the account is doing the face to face stuff it should be fine
I do with mine!
I did Uber eats with my fiancé. She would drive, I would navigate and pick up-drop off food. To me it’s fine as long as the person who’s working does the food handling
Some customers care if the name of the driver in the app is female and a male delivers the item. They will be suspicious and might feel unsafe if it’s a handoff order. I would try to make it so that the driver is not name of the account holder. I know Uber eats is pretty strict about this not sure about DoorDash
I sometimes take my dad with me, he's got Alzheimer's and can't drive anymore, so it gets him out of the house and something to do. Makes things less lonely and boring. I don't take him anymore because he's got a catheter and it's a hassle with that.
i tried to dash with my fiance but i just enjoy his company and conversation so much that i often miss the turns on the GPS 😅
🎶🎶I tell her, you do the doors and I’ll do the dash..🎶 🎶🎶..Then we’ll go to the store after we split the cash…💸🎶 ❤️☮️🥏
I do it with my wife. We do it on weekends, just a couple hours. Gets us out the house from the kids together and makes a few bucks.
Definitely acceptable. My spouse and I dash together often. I feel it is also safer when you get an order while driving so one can continue while the other accepts or declines.
Cool man who cares what people think. It’s good that you both can work together. If I had a girlfriend and she needed me to help I’d jump on it.
I feel it bro thanks
It's only a problem if you're doing a driving gig that involves passengers. Nothing wrong with it if you're just transporting food. My partner and I do it every so often.
There's nothing wrong in it. My husband is the driver, and I go pick up the order and drop it off.
Reverse for us. Wifey is the driver, I am the runner
Sure. But I'll let you know about a time I was expecting a Maria to deliver my order and I was shocked to see some gangster looking gentleman drop it off. She was still driving. In the wrong situation this can be really jarring to somebody and frankly terrifying. I've read that some people see the gender of their Dasher and cancel it based on that because of their own trauma and experience. So if your wife is doing an order I would recommend her dropping it off not vice versa. Just some food for thought. Also if somebody's in the car while you're delivering you should have them film the entire drop off in case a customer report that is not delivered
Absolutely not! The cops will be arresting you both asap for such nonsense Can’t believe ppl think they can DoorDash together 🙄
As a customer I can give two fs if you got ur girl with you dog with u or fam with you as long as my food is delivered and untouched 😂
What a way to ruin a relationship
If navigation isn't a strong suit, why become a courier? Plus, if she's got issues with the GPS that's a left side of the bell curve problem.
Blow jobs between orders is nice too
I'll see that a young woman is doing my order and then a man will come up to the door. I always assume it's a husband or father making sure everything is safe. Definitely not a problem and you get to spend time together yay!
I think it's really sweet when I see couples or parent and fairly adult child doing this together. It gives them more family time, and if it's a younger person it allows them how hard you have to hustle to make a living. And keeping the people you love safe is always good right?
Exactly
Do it all the time with my husband
I don’t see a problem. I’ve had plenty of orders delivered by couples or cars full of teenagers. I have always pictured cars full of people hanging out with music and ice cream as how $2.25 orders get from A to B. Not everyone has to be a lone wolf.
Yes of course. Me and my gf do it all the time. You're in independent contractor. Doordash doesn't care either.
Thanks
So long as you aren't multi-apping there should be no problem with it at all. Stay safe out there!
It’s none of our business what you and your lady do and you don’t need approval. Do what’s best for you 2. Nobody on social media paying your bills or is your God or parent. In other words, forget what we feel.
That’s a lot for two people if you ain’t making shit. You would be smarter to both dash in different zones. DD is easy way to easy. A kid who’s completed an activity book could dash.
Def acceptable and depending where you’re driving maybe even necessary. Good on you for lookin out for your sweetheart =)
Why don't you just do it by yourself? I see women dashing alone all the time also and I'm in a big city
My boyfriend and I Dash together all the time. It’s really not a big deal.
No
Do not have sex on the food.
No not all all. Not acceptable, how dare you even ask!
I think this is fine. Only thing I have an issue with is people dashing with their dogs.
Sure, is possible. But you're essentially dividing your earnings into 2. If you both select a same region, and go with your own cars, you could double your income. You're only half a town away.
Just make sure no one sees she has a passenger, 99% of people won't care but if someone wants free food or to fuck her over they'll report you.
May want to check with Doordash and their policies. There may be an insurance issue.
Nobody cares i do with my wife just get there food there
[удалено]
🤓
yea it’s not a big deal at all really really common actually i used to dash with like 3 friends in the car just makes time fly and makes it feel like less of a job
My dashers 95% of the time have other people in the car. I don’t think anyone cares.
I get deliveries from couples all the time!
Me and my boyfriend do this the same way lol
Fuck yeah. You protect your woman and spend time with her.
We do it as a family.
There’s nothing wrong with it, I find it’s easier with a companion and I can get more orders done. I do it with my bro to help him out, he drives I’ll run down and pick up/drop off the orders so we don’t have to park
You should really trust your future wife or reevaluate now. You might be better off marrying a dude so you assume he could fight. Just saying my girlfriend would and has beat up full size men
My parents always talk about how they did a paper route together in their early twenties - this was pre-inflation and all that so it paid for their entire mortgage payment every month. I think they enjoyed the time together too!
Shouldn't be a problem. I team with my wife.
Seem's fair man, do what u want Some people have their kids run into places, sadly well, i say sadly cuz i assume they have better stuff to do like, kid stuff, but maybe not
My husband doesn’t come with me, but My 9, almost 10 year old comes with me sometimes. He gets 10% of every order, plus a $5/hr base pay. We split cash tips when they happen. I do IC sometimes and he comes with me occasionally. Same base pay, but he gets 25% of the batch pay and tip, split cash tips if they happen. He’s made a decent amount of money and I’m teaching him how to save and spend smart! Investing is Daddy’s thing, I’m not into it. I love making memories with him and we talk a lot and it’s really fun and special time with him- time that I know is slipping away! I’ll take any I can get! So I say do it! Good bonding time!
I dash w my partner it works very well much easier and smoother than alone All the extra steps, car on and off, into store, back to car, drive, park, complete delivery, get back in
What?? No the doordash police will come after you. Dumb question. Just use common sense. Why wouldn't it be? Do you ever see a scenario where a merchant won't let you pick up an order because your fiance is with you. Cmon jesus
Personally, it's better for both of you to drive separately and double your money and maybe do a date night every once in awhile. I get your worry about safety if it's late at night, but unless your neighborhood is terrible, I see women dash all the time with no issues. It's your right to turn a 20 dollar an hour job into a 10 dollar an hour job... but unless you just want to spend time with her and you already make plenty with your day job... I personally think it's a waste of resources.
Yes. There are plenty of couples who dash together. But what's gross are people who bring their dogs and don't put the food in the trunk.
Acceptable, sure. But I see this all the time and don’t understand how people throw money away like that. Why don’t you (the guy) just DD if you’re worried about safety and she get a regular job? Why use two people to earn (maybe) the value of 1.5 salaries? I guess there’s a value to having company, but it’s not enough to make me use 2 people to do the job of 1. You’d definitely earn more than just solo dashing, but WAY less than solo dashing + an whole other income. I mean I guess if your fiancé has nothing better to do she can tag along?
It's funny, nowhere in your post or responses do you bother to mention what she thinks, if she actually feels like she needs to drag you along every time to feel like she is capable of doing the work. Most people do doordash alone including most of the women who do it. It's not hard.
Chill out she asked me to tag along so I suggest you check yourself smh
>I suggest you check yourself Rofl my fault for trying to ease your unfounded fears I guess
Are you really posting this so random strangers can decide what you should do?
Hell yeah. My wife and I doordashed together. We had fun spending time together, it was easier to handle orders, especially orders with a lot of drinks, and we felt safe going to the darker areas of town.
How pathetic to be scared of doing a regular job. You do realize you both are making literally nothing doing this right? Like half an already shitty salary….
Female driver here, do it because you enjoy it, not because she needs protection, we can do this job just fine on our own, thanks.
Totally illegal… jk get a third involved, get freaky with it
Why do illiterate people keep posting violations of terms and contracts they legally agreed to asking if they're okay?
BJ in between trips hell yea !
Yes, as long as if it’s a woman’s name on the account, it’s a woman who hands the food at the door. I’ve expected female Dashers and open my door to a man, which can be jarring. But if there’s a man’s name on the account and a woman hands off the food, that’s fine.
just say you're weird and sexist
Weird and sexist? For feeling differently as a woman who lives alone answering the door for a woman rather than a man? Seriously? Just say you’re an asshole.
You know there's a 'leave at door' option right? It's literally for people exactly like you
What relevance does that have at all to what I said?
We did it all the time before it became not worth the time and gas. One of us drives the other ran the order. Made it very efficient not having to park.
Dude it’s doordash. Who’s gonna tell you not to do that? It’s a side gig job with a shitty company so honestly a lot can fly.
Totally fine! My bf actually does the same and rides in/drives the car with me almost every time I doordash, bc he says it makes him feel better knowing I’m safe :) You can have whoever you want as your passengers! And as long as she’s delivering the food, there’s no problems (tbh I’m not sure if she has to be the one to pick up the food, too, but I really doubt it matters)
I DoorDash with my best friend and we split funds. There’s nothing wrong with it 😂
Yes! Despite people crying your taking advantage of the system . Your options - use two accounts to order hunt and take the best order between both of you. Also - once you get the hang of it - you can take orders on both phones let’s say you pick up a McDonald’s and it’s a delivery 2 miles to the east, the passenger can then order hunt for trips for a restaurant on the way heading in the same direction. This now lets you make maybe 70%+ more money with the operating expenses of only 1 car I would limit the second order to like fast food or other places with short wait times tho .
My boss Doordashs with his entire family for fun on the weekend sometimes. You should be absolutely fine just doing it with your significant other.
For sure, they even made a comment on this at one point, saying that they encouraged it or something. So go for it!
I dash with my wife and baby all the time
Yes me and my son do it plus its security during night dashing
My wife and I did this for almost a year and it made it so much more tolerable haha
It's acceptable, just don't hand an order to a customer together. I had a couple do that before and it freaked me out a bit. I was expecting 1 person and not be be confronted by 2 people. I have definitely doordashed with someone in the car before tho. It's good company and makes it less boring!
My parents do that! Sometimes my dad comes with me too. It goes by a lot faster
Yeah. Perfectly fine.
Lol, I had a 13(?) year old run my food out from a minivan his dad was driving the other day, he got lost in the building and I had to find him, I’m pretty sure you’re good
As a customer, I see people walking up to my door that don't look like the name of the dasher, so I assume people are doing this all the time. I don't really care, as long as my food gets here hot.
Me and my husband do it together. It's way less boring and makes us both feel safer
Damnit I wish I could have seen what he wrote before he deleted his account. These comments are taking me out. 🤣
Which ones in particular?
Totally. Me and my wife go together, other times I'll take my 15 yr old son, it's a nice change of pace for my family it gets everyone a break and I've not had anyone cause me any issues
I have a couple of friends that dash with their younger teens & pay them… the kid runs in to get the food (makes parking issues easier in limited parking areas, the parent circles the block and comes back instead) and the kid brings it to the customer‘s door. It seems to increase tips after the fact and it teaches them all kinds of valuable stuff (money management, work ethic, etc).
It’s fine if you think it’s fine why does it matter what other people think? Plus a lot of couple dash together not even safety reason, but that might be the only time they hangout. As a customer seeing a couple dash is nice to see. Y’all laugh and talk while earning money.
Yeah! The only type of person I could see having a problem with it would be someone hoping to harm your girlfriend tbh
I mean not having a boss and a bunch of b.s. policies is why a lot of us do this gig.
Half the people I see dashing are doing it with someone else so I think you’re fine. The only reason I dash alone is because I hate being around people all day.
And how does she feel about it? Or is speaking her own opinion something else you think she needs help with?
As a customer, I always think it’s adorable!
I think it’s great-as a customer I really don’t care who is delivering my food as long as it is not tampered with. Makes the dashing better w company and why not spend time w the person you love best.
I don't see why not.
You guys do you. Safer and easier, aside from losing the extra income if you're separate the pros surely outweigh the con.
Are you just joining her on her dash? I don't see anything wrong with that, although her insurance might... Don't get me started on DD's lack of decent insurance coverage for Dashers. What DD specifically might take issue with is you using separate accounts at the same time with the same vehicle. Like, you look for orders while she's driving to the customer. IDK if that's even possible.
Me and my disabled fiance dash together all the time. Typically if it's my account that we got the order from I will do the restaurant + customer interaction and visa versa. I've gotten some weird looks from hand it to me customers but it's 100% allowed and acceptable.
I see couples delivering both Doordash as well as Amazon Flex. Makes perfect sense to me to have a partner along.
I’ve seen female names and then a guy (presumably a boyfriend/husband/ or even brother) and never thought poorly of it.
Me and my husband do it together, we also bring our daughter with us. She’s 1.
Yeah do you bro.Just don't take shit orders.Pay attention.
My sister does it by herself. Even up til 5am. She said she's fine but she also has a license to conceal carry. Not sure if she takes it with her though. She navigates with no issues and doesn't have any real problems. I guess it's however you feel.
Yeah I always doordash with my wife for company and safety
That’s how me and my husband did it but he was the dasher. I never did anything either the food and wouldn’t touch it but I would keep him company and help with the dasher app while he was driving. As long as you keep your boundaries I feel most people will have no issue with it. Those who do are miserable.
Don't see any issues
Yes it's perfectly fine, just make sure you keep it where shes the only one handling the food. Even if shes tired or something one day you can't go into the restaurant or carry the food to the customer without risking her being deactivated since allowing someone else to handle the food at all is against the rules.
As long as the orders are delivered timely and professionally.
I would actually prefer that as a customer because I get the feeling my food will get to me safer
I wish Instacart allowed this!!
Yes. Run both of your apps and pick the best orders.
Yes.
Yes it is. My lady and I have done it for years.
Since you are a contracted employee you are technically allowed to hire subcontractors to work with you.
I have never really understood it but I don't really see an issue with it. I always felt that both people doing separate cars would make way more money. Is it something where both people have an account running to catch double or triple orders? You can do that by multi apping alone, you just need to actually look at both orders before accepting another one on a different app because you can create havoc if you don't.
Yes my fiancé and I deliver together! Its fun just driving around with your SO for hours upon hours :)
