become an official vendor first, which is much easier than it sounds! Whether you’re already driving for them or just want the opportunity to in the future, this article will tell you everything you need to know about subcontracting with Doordash.
What is Subcontracting with Doordash?
Doordash subcontracting occurs when a driver for one service is contracted to pick up and deliver food (or other goods) for another service. This is usually done because the first service is too busy to handle the extra load themselves. This could also happen if the first service doesn’t pay enough to make it worth the time to work for them. If you own your own truck and have a good reputation, you could offer to subcontract with other companies. This could be a great way to make some extra money and expand your business!

How to Become an Official Doordash Vendor
First, you need to become an official Doordash vendor. This will allow you to use their app to find and deliver orders. To become a vendor, you’ll need to provide Doordash with some information about your business. This includes your name, address, what type of goods you’ll be delivering, and any required certifications. Doordash will also need to conduct a background check on you. If you pass, you’ll be able to access their contract as well as the Doordash app where you can negotiate your rates and set yourself up to be a subcontractor as well. You don’t have to be signed up to drive on Doordash to become a vendor, but you do have to go through the same process as drivers. You’ll have to pass a background check and wait for the approval message to be sent to the email you used to sign up. Becoming a vendor is a great way to build your reputation and find new business opportunities.
How to Become a Subcontractor with Doordash Accounts
After you’ve become an official Doordash vendor, you’re ready to start subcontracting with Doordash account holders. Find an account holder who has an open slot on their account and is accepting new vendors. You can find these people by going to the Doordash marketplace and searching for food vendors. You can also wait for vendors to post on the marketplace by searching for food vendors, finding an account holder you think would be a good fit for you, and reading their post. Once you’ve found an account holder you want to work with, send them a message telling them a bit about yourself, and why you think you’d be a good fit for their account. If they like what they see, they’ll send you a link to their account. You’ll have to sign up and agree to the terms and conditions of the account before you can start delivering. Once you’ve finished, you’ll send an invoice to the account holder. They’ll either pay you right away or wait until the end of the week to send you your money.
Pros and Cons of Being Subcontractor with Doordash Accounts
The biggest advantage of being a DoorDash subcontractor is that you have the potential to earn a significant income. Because you are paid based on the number of deliveries you make, you can theoretically make an unlimited amount of money. Additionally, DoorDash offers flexible scheduling, which means that you can work around your other commitments.
The downside of being a DoorDash subcontractor is that you are not an employee of the company. This means that you are not eligible for employee benefits, such as health insurance or paid vacation days. Additionally, because you are not an employee, DoorDash is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings. This means that you will be responsible for paying your own taxes, which can be a significant burden.

Users of the Doordash app benefit from this since it increases the number of drivers on the road. For you, it’s a great way to bring in some extra cash without much additional effort.
