Wouldn’t the delivery service just use the driver’s name when placing the order?

The driver isn't known when the order is sent in.

> DoorDash is a food order delivery service. Customers place an order at one of dozens of restaurants, and then they agree to a delivery fee and tip. The app then pushes orders to “Dashers” who are logged into the app.

> Once you accept an order, you drive to the restaurant, place the order, bring the order back to your car and deliver it to the customer.
