DoorDash still has alcohol deliveries.
You would be amazed at how many people place a delivery order, then either leave home, pass out, or won't answer the door.
The one time I've had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.
I get them all the time for Meijers and a local bar/liquor store. One restaurant still sells margaritas in plastic cups, "sealed" with just a paper tape. I'm not completely sure that's legal, but I look forward to the GoFundMe for my legal fees and living expenses if and when I get arrested for it.
I've been left with 4 bottles of champagne, a bottle of prosecco, 3 cases of beer, and a box of wine in the past year, where the customer just didn't want to answer the door.
NAL, but it would appear in most places in the great nation of America, any tape on a lidded plastic cup is a sufficient seal to defeat an open container citation (appears to be similarly treated as wine bottles that have paper/label seals) and it appears more than half the union offers drive up liquor sales in additions to NOLA’s famous drive thru margaritas source: (https://www.motorbiscuit.com/margarita-madness-states-offer-drive-through-alcohol/). If you are still worried you can check out here and click on your states law to get more in depth https://www.findlaw.com/dui/laws-resources/open-container-laws-by-state.html
Michigan's laws only very recently (during the pandemic) changed to allow this.
I mention Michigan specifically because they mentioned Meijer and Michigan is one of the states you can find those.
I'm not worried about it at all. I figure that if there is an issue with the packaging, the restaurant and DD would be liable.
Considering how many people order McDonald's and Taco Bell through DoorDash, no, I wouldn't.
Here in Australia Uber and doordash both have alcohol deliveries and grocery deliveries. The core business is food. Recently I’ve noticed doordash offering alcohol too, before you’ve completed a food order. A second order for free, made at the same time. They had already offered a top up double dash, after you ordered. They’re cutting one step.
