#THE MELTDOWN DOORDASH PATCH#

Either the process to eliminate the duplicate data got botched or their internal fraud detection noticed all of these duplicate accounts and began deactivating drivers. Somewhere along the line, something wasn't implemented right.

#THE MELTDOWN DOORDASH PATCH#

My theory – and it IS just a theory – is that part of the process of trying to fix everything involved creating duplicate data on which everything could be tested, to see if their patch works, before running it the whole system. The problem is, you can't test it on live data, especially not with as unstable as their program is to begin with. So how do you implement a patch without bringing the whole freaking system down again? You have to test it first. This is stuff that I'm pretty sure their app wasn't designed to do, so somehow they have to write a patch or something.

They are trying to figure out how to go in, on a large scale, and fix driver ratings related to the recent round of outages. This is wild speculation, but I have to wonder if it is related to Doordash trying to fix the problems related to the app crashes.

#THE MELTDOWN DOORDASH DRIVERS#

A number of drivers reported that they have been told that the ‘fraud' was related to having multiple accounts, even though drivers never actually created a second driver account. My guess is that the deactivations are part of the great app meltdown that seems to be taking place. The problem with that theory is that Doordash isn't going to be offering referral bonuses if they are needing to purge drivers at the same time. Is this some sort of crackdown? There has been speculation that Doordash was starting to purge drivers, thin out the herd a little. You can imagine, a lot of people jumped on that with claims that they're cracking down on acceptance rates. The Great Deactivation Mysteryĭoordash driver forums lately have been flooded with reports of people who received emails indicating that they were deactivated due to fraud.

Doordash reps have been promising to fix those issues, and have been providing some compensation for lost orders due to the most recent outages. With the latest round of issues, several drivers had their acceptance rates affected. In the past, outages would be solved within a matter of hours, but the past few days the problem has been a recurring one. Other times it would almost hold you hostage where an order would be assigned but you couldn't do anything with it. Sometimes it was just simply that Dashers couldn't log in. This has become a bigger issue the past few days. It would get stuck where the notification for a new order would keep ringing long after an order was accepted or declined, and I had to force close the app and reboot it.Īnd then there are the outages. It would completely knock any streaming application off line when an order came in, such as if I'm listening to a podcast or streaming music.

It never seemed like it was well designed to begin with. Now, my experience has always been that the app for Doordash has been glitchy from the get-go. You wonder if somehow they are all related.Īll indications do seem to be that the tech behind Doordash's app seems to be in full meltdown mode The Dasher App is Struggling. Dozens of drivers have reported in forums that they were deactivated. The Dasher app has been having some major issues. What is going on with the Doordash app? The past few days, there's been a lot of buzz about Doordash that has nothing to do with their pay model and the supposed upcoming change.
