Uber Eats, Doordash & Grubhub Will Be Open For Delivery On 2021 Thanksgiving Day
Uber Eats, Doordash and Grubhub are all open on this year’s thanksgiving. Although the holiday may still affect the services near you. There might be a fewer number of drivers on the road, many restaurants might keep close that work with food delivery. There could also be a higher demand for restricted drivers.
But there is a catch in this. You might pay a little higher fee on some services as this is a peak delivery time. The options are also limited as the drivers can only deliver from places that are open and so the delivery time could be longer. But this all depends on where you live. Some may not even notice a difference.
Open restaurants and fast-food chains like McDonald’s, Chipotle, and Chick-fil-A will be closed for delivery.
Fansided also asked everyone to tip the drivers well and be patient if their orders take longer than normal to deliver. It was also asked to keep in mind that the delivered or contractors don’t get any vacation pay or perks.
