Forget pizza…Dinner delivery at your door is possible with just the touch of your smartphone with DoorDash. So mamachallenge took the offer from DoorDash to test drive to see if it really worked…and it did. There is not a sponsored post, but the cost of food was reimbursed for trying it out. And now you can too with a special discount just for you!
Even the best of meal-planning parents can’t always be prepared for the challenges that can happen in a day.
Then there’s just the times you’re too tired to even think about throwing chicken nuggets in the microwave or rolling through a drive-in once again.
If only dinner delivery could arrive at your door, hot and ready to eat – and not paying some crazy amount – to get it there.
DoorDash just launched in Fort Worth and Arlington and I bet those Dashers (the ones that pickup and bring your food) already wonder if I know how to cook at all. DoorDash has been in Dallas for a year and thankfully has made its way westbound
Coverage areas include:
- Downtown Fort worth
- Arlington Heights
- Edgecliff Village
- Everman & Kennedale
- TCU Area
- Western Hills / Ridglea
- White Settlement
- Arlington
And also is taking over Frisco,The Colony, Southlake, Colleyville, Flower Mound and Coppell!
Last week, after a crazy day that I was thinking cereal might be the best option for eating, I downloaded the free app (you can use it on your desktop too) and gave it a spin.
With no tutorial or help, I had the app on my phone, clicked through what options were available and delivery times worked with our scheduled, ordered, paid, and was watching the progress of the entire order – straight to my door – with less than 10 minutes spent.
I was so stinkin’ excited I couldn’t help but share it on my Facebook and tell all my friends that my dreams of dinner delivery were answered – and it was FOR REAL.
Even when there was a little glitch – like the restaurant was taking longer to get the meal made, the progress tracker made it easy to see that the ETA had changed a few minutes. (That always happens when I pick it up at some of my favorites, so of course, that’s going to happen from time to time.)
And of course, the one question that everyone asked was how much did it cost? Was there a huge delivery fee? Was the menu price totally different? While the site says the delivery fee varies by region and restaurant, you’ll see the price for delivery as you do it so there’s no surprises. However, all I paid for my meals was the cost of the listed item and a $1 delivery fee. And then I was able to tip, too – so there was nothing to do when the Dasher arrived at the door except open the door and eat it.

I love this so much. It sounds like an AWESOME service.
So fun! I can’t wait to try!! Perfect for busy Moms 🙂
DoorDash sounds awesome! I hope they come to Chicagoland!
Great info my dear….can’t wait to try them too.
I could definitely use something like this on a busy night. I do not like to cook all that much and we are busy good amount of time during the week I would love something to just be delivered to my door.
Love this! I hope they make this service available around here soon!
WOW! I wish we had something like that out here. I have the choice of 2 pizza places and 1 Chinese.
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait till this comes to San Antonio. This sounds fabulous. There are so many nights I want to order in and pizza and chinese are so old. WE NEED THIS
DoorDash sounds like a great company. I like try new things and I so enjoy dinner delivered!!
We have something similar in our neck of the woods. It’s hard to believe that something like a food delivery service would be available in our little small town. It seems like something that would only be available in the bigger cities.
Whoa, this is AWESOME! I work a full time job and run my blog- dinner is tough! LOL
That sounds like such a great service. I wish they had this in my area. I’d take advantage of it if they did have it in my area.
I have heard of Door Dash before and you’re not the first to talk about its brilliant customer service. Can’t wait for this to be available in my area!
I sure could have used something like this last week! What an awesome service, and WOW only $1 for delivery?!
OH wow, Door dash sounds super cool. What a neat service to have, I am all about having food delivered to my door. Much easier!
I love the idea for this!! I hope this is in my area, there are so many nights having delivery would save the day!
What a great service. I know after a long day at work, the last thing I want to do is cook.
Oh how I wish this was available in my area! Food delivery is such a dream!
I wish there is something like this in our place, it could be a big help especially on busy days, as well as lazy days- just kidding!
I wish I lived in an area where Door Dash could deliver to me. This looks like a fantastic idea!
This seems like a nice service. I like being able to place an order and have the food I want delivered to my house.
The Dasher and I would probably end up on a first name basis! I can’t wait until this service comes to my area.
This sounds like such a great service not only for women who work outside the home but also those of us who consult from home. Conveniences like these can really help us be more productive.
