DoorDash Order Aggregation Onboarding & Configuration

In this article, we’ll detail the process for Onboarding and Configuring a brand or location for Doordash Order Aggregation.

For general Order Aggregation Onboarding, please refer to: Order Aggregation Onboarding & Transition Walkthrough

Note: Lunchbox can only send 1 menu to 3rd Party Marketplaces for Order Aggregation.

Limitations

  • We do not have the ability to void or cancel orders that are voided or canceled on the Third Party Marketplace.

  • We do not currently support self-delivered Marketplace Ordering

  • We do not currently automatically overwrite the Takeout Pricing (A dev escalation would be required to achieve this for DoorDash. Ubereats would need to be manually adjusted.)

  • If you have menus overridden to close on certain days on the online menu we cannot override these settings you would need to uncheck and remove any daily closure overrides.

  • We do not have the ability to remove other integration's menus from the ordering platform. You would need to get in touch with Marketplace Support to remove old menus. This can be done on the day of launch.

  • We do not have the ability to remove the previous aggregator's connection to the marketplace. It is important to remember to reach out to both the previous aggregator and the marketplace to remove the previous integration. Failure to do this could lead to order failures.

  • We do not have the ability to send more than one menu to each 3PD Marketplace by location by marketplace.

Onboarding

To get started with onboarding your Doordash Marketplace for Order Aggregation, refer to the following steps.

  1. If you have a Doordash Account Manager, introduce them to your Lunchbox POC (Point of Contact) so they can assist with providing any specific Doordash information.

  2. If you are comfortable with sharing, provide your Lunchbox POC with access to your Doordash Merchant Portal by creating a login for them. This will help will testing and troubleshooting.

  3. Provide the following information to your Lunchbox POC for each of your locations using your Configuration Workbook:

    1. Location Name

    2. POS External Location ID

    3. Location Address

    4. Location Hours

    5. Location Lead & Prep Times

    6. Doordash URL

    7. Doordash POS External Service Type ID

      1. Alternatively, you can use 1 “3PD” External Service Type ID for all Order Aggregation Marketplaces.

    8. Doordash POS External Payment ID

      1. Alternatively, you can use 1 “3PD” External Payment Type ID for all Order Aggregation Marketplaces.

  4. Determine if you would like to use a Doordash (or 3PD Marketplace) specific menu or if you are going to use a menu that will require an Uplift % for the entire menu being sent to Doordash.

  5. Provide the POS External Menu ID or Name to your Lunchbox POC.

  6. Once this initial information is provided, your Lunchbox POC will have Doordash added as an integration to your Lunchbox Dashboard.

  7. Once all of the Location information above is provided, your Lunchbox POC will create your Doordash Integration Store IDs in Lunchbox which will be needed when submitting a request to change your Order Protocol.

  8. Once Doordash Store IDs are created, you Lunchbox POC will submit a form to Doordash to set up or change your Order Protocol.

  9. Look out for an email from Doordash about the next steps. You’ll be able to start testing and taking orders when the integration is complete.

Note: Integration can take up to 2 weeks, depending on your POS system.

  1. Once the integration is complete, Lunchbox will schedule time to test orders and make sure they are flowing properly from Doordash to Lunchbox to your POS and follow up with any additional information or requirements.

  2. When you are live, please utilize [email protected] and Doordash support for any assistance.

Note: Doordash currently refers to Lunchbox internally as Novadine.

Lunchbox Configurations

The Lunchbox Onboarding and Configurations Team will perform the following in your Admin Dashboard to prepare, test and launch Doordash for Order Aggregation (the following instructions are for the older version of the Lunchbox 2.0 Dashboard:
