Who each one is for
DoorDash
Restaurants that want the largest pool of app customers and are fine paying a commission for that reach.
Fork & Curb
Food trucks and home cooks that sell to regulars and nearby crowds, move between stops, and want low or flat fees.
The honest version
Where DoorDash is the better choice
- Far more customers already have the DoorDash app open.
- A large national courier fleet, so delivery coverage is wider.
Where Fork & Curb is the better choice
- Lower per-order fees: Basic is 7% per delivery order · 3% per pickup order, and paid plans have no per-order fee.
- Never pay more than Basic: a monthly plan is capped at what Basic fees would have cost that month.
- Made for trucks: customers see where you are parked right now.
Many sellers use both: big apps for reach, Fork & Curb for regulars and pickup.
Your customers are yours.
