How do I adjust pickup time on my DoorDash restaurant tablet?
Need more time to prepare your order or was your order ready to go sooner than expected? Here’s what to do:
1. If an order will take longer than you originally estimated, you can move the pickup time back. To do so, head over to Active Orders or Order History and tap Issue with Order.
2. Select Adjust Prep Time in the pop-up menu.
3. From here, you can choose when the order will be ready for Dasher or customer pickup.
4. Tap Confirm to update the pickup time.
How do I contact a customer or Dasher through my DoorDash restaurant tablet?
At times, questions arise, and you may need to contact the customer or Dasher during an active order or after the order has been picked up.
1. Navigate to the Active Orders tab or Order history tab and tap on Issue with Order at the top right.
2. Choose either Customer or Dasher to contact on this screen by tapping the phone icon.
3. After you hit the phone icon, you will be prompted to enter your phone number.
4. Once you enter your phone number, you will receive a call from DoorDash connecting you to the Customer or Dasher.
Note: Your phone number will be masked, the Customer or Dasher will not be able to view your number or call you back.
