What are DoorDash's food safety handling requirements?
In order to ensure standards of food safety, merchants may require all Dashers to have an insulated hot bag during their deliveries. You may use any hot bag of your choice. To get a DoorDash hot bag, you can purchase one online at www.doordashstore.com.
Merchants or their building may also require that Dashers wear face coverings when entering their locations.
Pick up
Do not open food containers or tamper with the order in any way.
Keep it fresh. Wrap the food in your foil blanket, then place it in your hot bag and zip your hot bag closed. Keeping the food hot will ensure food stays safe in transport.
Travel
Secure the food. Customers appreciate the food arriving just like it would at the restaurant. Lay the food flat, and secure your hot bag in your vehicle before you drive to the customer.
Cleanliness
Hot bags last longer and can help with customer ratings when they are clean. Here are few tips for hot bag care:
Wipe your hot bag with a recommended household cleaner for kitchens.
Use a clean towel or paper towels with water to wipe off the cleaner residue.
Use a new clean towel or paper towels to dry the hot bag.
If you would like a new DoorDash hot bag, order one online at www.doordashstore.com.
