How it Works
1. Select DoorDash or Postmates as the delivery method when accepting your order.
2. Wait as the City Hive platform automatically calls and assigns the next available driver to come pick up your delivery.
Wait times can vary and are based on driver availability. You will receive an email confirmation when a driver has been assigned to the order.
3. Verify the delivery driver is above the age of 21, their ID matches the name of the driver you received confirmation for, and the products you are having them leave with are all there prior to releasing the delivery.
Once the driver completes their delivery you are automatically charged on your monthly invoice for the delivery fee and driver tip.
FAQ:
What if my driver does not arrive?
You can call another delivery driver by clicking into the Full Info of your order and selecting change next to the DoorDash logo. From here you can select to switch the delivery to yourself or call another driver.
