Savvy restaurant owner makes money buying his own pizza on DoorDash app

As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And that’s exactly what one restaurant owner did when he found out that DoorDash was selling his pizza without permission. The anonymous owner, who owns Kansas-based AJ’s NY Pizzeria. shared his story online via a friend: content strategist Ranjan Roy. “They have a test period where they scrape the restaurant’s website and don’t charge any fees to anyone. so they can ideally go to the restaurant with positive order data... to then get the restaurant signed onto the platform,” Roy explained. Since DoorDash was still giving Roy’s friend the full amount for all delivery orders. he decided to start ordering his own pizza and netting the extra profit. “He called in and placed an order for 10 pizzas to a friend’s house and charged $160 to his personal credit card. A Doordash call center then called into his restaurant and put in the order for those 10 pizzas. A Doordash driver showed up with a credit card and paid $240 for the pizzas,” Roy explained. “It worked”
