  • The money you’re paying DoorDash isn’t going to the drivers, so I don’t know how driverless cars will reduce the costs. Having driven for DoorDash off and on over the past couple years, they typically only pay $2 per delivery, plus whatever tip the customer gives. I’ve read they additionally charge the restaurants around a 30% commission on all orders, which is why the prices are so much higher than in the restaurant; the restaurants raise the prices so that they still get roughly the same money after the commission is deducted.

    I’m not really sure where all that money goes with DoorDash. They clearly try to keep support costs as low as possible. I’m guessing they lose a lot to refunds, legitimate or not. But I still don’t understand how the prices can be so high yet they always seem tight on cash.







  • It’s a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo. Basically it’s picking a task, doing it for 25 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break. It started when he was a university student struggling to get through reading for his sociology class and started using a timer just trying to hold focus for two minutes at the start. The kitchen timer he used was shaped like a tomato, or pomodoro in Italian as you stated.



  • Wasn’t sure if that’s why you’re having trouble finding something that gives rewards.

    I wouldn’t expect too many ACH rewards to exist, though. ACH is lower cost than credit card fees but my understanding is it usually still isn’t free. Credit card fees paid by the merchant mostly go to the card issuer (bank) who in turn offers a portion of that fee to the card holder as a reward to incentivize them to use the card more. I think the ACH fees mostly go to the clearing house, usually the Federal Reserve in the U.S., so they’re not turning around and handing any portion of those fees to consumers. The fee can also be paid by the sender or the recipient, so that further reduces the opportunity to supply a reward incentive.
