At least with Grubhub plus or whatever it's called, this isn't really true. They put "0 delivery fee" but then still include a "service fee" which is 15% of the order (this is not the tip). Can you confirm DoorDash does not do something similar?

Yes, Doordash with Dashpass still has a service fee. Dashpass reduces the service fee but does not remove it. My bill from yesterday:

Subtotal $24.45 (total cost of the items as listed on the store page)

Delivery Fee $0.00 (would've been non-zero without Dashpass)

Service Fee $1.22 (annotated as "This reduced service fee of 5.0% with DashPass helps us operate DoorDash." Would've been $3.18 without Dashpass.)

Estimated Tax $2.56

Dasher Tip $3.50

Total $31.73

That's not bad comparatively. I will have to check it out.
Dashpass doesnt seem tod o that
