Why U-DO exists
The people who bring your food deserve a fair deal.
Groceries and restaurant delivery in DC, where more of every order goes to the worker and you never pay marked-up prices.
Who's at your door
The person at your door with your groceries is often a single parent fitting work around school pickup, or a caregiver who can't take a 9-to-5 job. Many are doing delivery because they have to. On the big apps, too many of them take home less than minimum wage once you count their waiting time and gas.[3]
We think that's wrong. We also think it's bad business.
The numbers are hard to ignore
"Income inequality will take this country down."
When the people doing the work can't get by, everyone in the community feels it. Paying workers fairly isn't charity. It's how a city stays strong.
Why we built U-DO
DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart are billion-dollar companies. Yet the people who actually do their deliveries often don't earn enough to cover the basics. We don't think that's fair. So we built U-DO the other way around.
Workers get the most
More of every order goes to the person who shops and delivers it.
You pay less
No marked-up menu or grocery prices. You pay what the store charges.
Local to DC
Your neighbors deliver to your neighbors.
It's simple: when the middleman takes less, the worker earns more and you save more.
David vs. Goliath
They're the giants. We're the underdog, and we're proud of it. We've lived through hard times, and that made us more empathetic. We built U-DO around that.
Every order is a vote. When you choose U-DO, you save money and the worker gets paid more. That's how David wins.
