Quick answer: Your customer is able to directly order off your menu through the Nomni Ordering platform to access the DDD service and their drivers. DDD currently services all towns with a population above 30,000 within Australia.


DoorDash Drive (DDD) is a white-label delivery service DoorDash provides (separate from its marketplace), that enables access to their delivery driver network for a flat fee per order utilising your existing platform with Nomni Ordering

Your customer is able to directly order off your menu through the Nomni Ordering platform to access the DDD service and their drivers. DDD currently services all towns with a population above 30,000 within Australia.

How much does it cost?

DDD costs a flat fee of $8.50 (excl. GST) for the first 1 kilometre then $1 for every km afterwards for up to 5km. So, a 3km order would cost you $10.50 (excl. GST). There is no set up fees and the sign up process is quick & easy!


Difference between marketplace & on-demand delivery

Typical Marketplace for 3km

DDD for 3km

  • 35% per order

  • E.g. For an order of $50

- Marketplace takes $17.50

- You receive $33.50

  • Fixed fee $10.50 (based on 3km radius)

  • E.g. For an order of $50

- You charge a $7 delivery fee

- You pay DoorDash $3.50

- You receive $46.50

  • Stores can choose how much they off-set their delivery fee. You can off-set your DDD onto the customer.


How can I offset the DDD $10.50 fee for a standard 3km radius?

Yes. With Nomni Ordering, you have the ability to pass on this fee fully or partially to your customers. In the Nomni Ordering console, you can create multiple zones, minimum spends and delivery fees. CLICK HERE to see how this is set-up.


Can I have DoorDash Drive turned on as well as use my own drivers or DriveYello driver shifts at the same time?

No. When DDD is enabled with ordering windows, it automatically books drivers for the orders. You cannot cancel them unless an order is cancelled and refunded, in which case, the driver would be cancelled automatically (if it isn't too late).

If you don't have ordering windows turned on, you can call DD drivers manually, so it is possible to use your own drivers too.

(NOTE: If you are using your own drivers but have activated DDD in our console DDD will override this and follow through with the order.)
