You claim "financial empowerment," but you pay the drivers you rely on to conduct your business only $3 | $2/delivery.

You openly state that you will be donating money to non-profits and local restaurants but you are not willing to pay your drivers a profitable rate?

These mind-control tricks you're playing on the drivers do not go unnoticed, DD.

The $500 payments (which equals payment of $0.10 per delivery for those 5k deliveries) was part of your "empowerment" strategy, was it?

How is $0.10/per delivery empowering anyone? Oh, that's right - it's not empowering anyone ... it allows you to send money to drivers, hoping they'll take that $500 and buy 4 shares, thus artificially inflating the worth of your stock.

Oh, just coincidence these things happened on the same day?

You are scumbags is what you are. You cannot exist without your drivers yet you pay your drivers so little that most of them aren't even making minimum wage, and many of them often ruin their lives because of you.

They run their vehicles into the ground, while desperate after a job loss, etc., but they're too employee-minded to realize they're operating a business, so they do not make sound decisions and given that over 80% of every order you're sending out isn't profitable, they eventually find themselves without a car, without money to FIX their car, while you're taking that "profit" you make and donate it to non-profits?

What an absolute disaster of a company you are. You make me sick.

Anyone that orders food from delivery apps - please use GrubHub because they actually pay profitable rates to their drivers. DD pays drivers $3 and that's it.

I had an order one day that was $5.50 for 16.5 miles one way, so 33 miles round-trip.

These are every day orders. Choose GrubHub -- let DD destroy itself or push them to start paying profitable rates.

You can offset this by "tipping" more, though it's not a tip when a driver cannot profit without it, but still - either tip your drivers at least $5 every time or choose GrubHub.
