DoorDash also sets prices independently of the restaurant menu. In some cases this means DD prices are higher than the store, in others DD prices it lower than the restaurant, and takes a loss in hopes of gaining market share.

This results in fun opportunities like Pizza Arbitrage https://www.readmargins.com/p/doordash-and-pizza-arbitrage
