Frequently asked questions
What is DoorDash?
DoorDash Inc. is an American company that develops the DoorDash app – a food ordering and delivery app through which you can order from local restaurants, as well as from grocers and supermarkets.
DoorDash has seen a massive surge in popularity and user numbers thanks to the increased demand for shop-to-door delivery services caused by the 2020-21 global pandemic.
Why would I want to delete my DoorDash account?
There is a number of reasons you might want to delete your DoorDash account, not least because you’re using it far too much and want to start getting healthier, and cooking more for yourself, rather than ordering in from other places.
Similarly, you might be happy with how much you order from restaurants and takeaways, but find that you’re spending too much money, thanks to the convenience of the app.
Or, of course, you may simply have decided that there are better apps out there – more suited to your needs – than DoorDash, and as such, you’d like to delete your account before deleting the app.
You might be a ‘dasher’ (one of the self-employed freelancers associated with the company) and be fed up with the job – note though, if you are, then make sure to cancel all and any scheduled shifts with DoorDash before deleting your account.
What happens when I delete my DoorDash account?
Your account and all information associated with it are deleted permanently. Next time you wish to use DoorDash, you’ll have to create a new account.
Will deleting my DoorDash account also cancel my DoorDash subscription?
No. If you have a DoorDash subscription, which you or someone bought for you, then you’ll have to cancel this before you delete your DoorDash account, so that it doesn’t carry on charging you when the due date comes. Alternatively, if you have a one-month subscription, say, which isn’t going to automatically renew, then deleting your DoorDash account will effectively end your subscription, given that it’s not going to renew, and you’ll no longer have access to it.
