DoorDash introduces hourly wage option for Dashers

DoorDash, the leader in the restaurant delivery wars, has introduced an hourly wage option for its couriers, known as Dashers. Previously, Dashers were paid on a per-job basis. This change in payment structure is seen as a response to pressure from local governments on gig economy workers. While the company initially focused on maximizing customer satisfaction and acquiring a large customer base, this shift to hourly wages is a recalibration of DoorDash's business model, addressing the profitability of smaller orders and longer travel distances.
