DoorDash's new feature scores you money off your bill when you decide to dine out

You'll want to leave the house for this.

Love trying new foodie spots, but also love scoring a cheeky deal while you’re at it? DoorDash’s latest feature might be your new go-to.

If you’re anything like me, the conversation’s always “what should we eat?” instead of “where should we go?” - but that’s about to change.

The food delivery service has just launched ‘Going Out’, a brand new feature that lets you earn rewards, discounts, and more exclusive deals just by dining in at your fave restaurants. 

It's all about giving us Kiwis more bang for our buck while supporting our go-to local eateries.

So, how does ‘Going Out’ work? It’s easy. Just open the DoorDash app, tap on the “Going Out” tab, and claim a promo from one of the participating spots.

Then, when you rock up to the restaurant, activate your discount or perk by tapping your phone on the DoorDash Tile at the counter, and BOOM, the deal’s done.

You can score savings of up to $25 off the bill, and the more you eat out, the more perks you’ll unlock.

The feature is available only in Auckland - for now - but we’ve got word there are plans to roll out nationwide soon.

DoorDash NZ General Manager, Bradley Thomas, says it’s all about boosting business for local restaurants: “We’re thrilled to launch a feature that not only rewards customers for supporting local eateries but also strengthens the connection between our customers and the places they love.”

“Every time someone chooses to visit a restaurant through DoorDash, they’re earning rewards while contributing to the success of our local businesses.”

So, it’s really a win-win for everyone!

Next time you're tossing up between cooking or going out… treat yourself!
