Where Dumpling differentiates itself is in how its used by delivery workers.
Did you know?
But does the company provide a meaningful alternative?
With Instacart, were used to just sitting around waiting for batches, and its just stupid.
But that autonomy comes at a cost.
The activation kit includes:
The Dumpling credit card works as a micro loan to business owners.
This system allows Dumpling business owners to shop all orders without fronting any funds themselves.
Pro costs $49 per month, and Tycoon costs $99 per month.
A standard plan is free.
you might expect the activation process to take about a week.
The credit card fees are tiered based on your membership category.
If youre Pro, you pay 3.2% plus 30 cents.
Tycoons pay 2.8% plus 30 cents.
They can only increase it.
The trick is to find the right delivery charge.
Too high, and you risk driving your customers to Instacart, Shipt or another Dumpling deliverer.
Too low, and those fees eat away at your tip.
The initial coaching session is a basic onboarding call in which a Dumpling coach will show you the ropes.
After that, you’re able to receive additional coaching free of charge.
Between sessions, coaches can help with smaller questions, too.
After the three coaching sessions, you may be able to get more assistance if needed.
Dumpling business owners never have to pay money to access this program, Shapiro said.
Then you’re free to choose to accept or decline, knowing little to nothing about the customer.
And the initial order could take some leg work.
But thats assuming that one of your neighbors is already familiar with the company.
Dumpling is not for every gig worker.
It takes a certain amount of risk tolerance.
