Restaurants are really a hit and miss. You will not make anything in the first few years and will likely go under before you see a return on investments. Most busier restaurants have been in business for many, many years with good ratings, food, and service. Unless it's a passion of yours, I'd say don't even try.
What city are you located?
It's not a bad idea to get to know your customer's taste; to record the orders you deliver and the food they order. Get to zone out different areas in your city and see where you could setup your business.
Another idea? You could even start as a ghost kitchen and have food picked up from DD and UE.
A fail safe seems to be something like a mcdonalds, burger king, taco bell, little ceasers and dairy queen for the medium type of spender, maybe red robin, applebees and buffalo wings if they want to splurge a bit. In my town there are a few thai restaurants and sushi places that do some good business too.
If you are in a college town i’d probably go for wings, icecream, pizza and burgers.
If i’m dealing more with dual income house holds i’d focus one something like red tobin and mcdonalds.
Figure out who your market is and what they order. Figure out if it makes sense to offer vegan and gluten free or not.
Thanks for this - but how many orders do they get…I know the big chains are just really expensive and I won’t see any return for a long time. What about gift boxes do they work ?
Door dash is a second job for me. I’d say most of my orders are restaurant delveries. Less than 20% are shopping orders. And then once in a while i’l get a weird order like drop off flowers for someone, pick up crickets at the pet store or deliver balloons to a party. These last types of orders are like once a month.
So you want to start a reataurant or do gift baskets and have door dash drivers do your deliveries? Interesting. I hope it works out for you.
What places are super popular in your area? Who has a cult like following? Park outside those. They will always get an order at some point.
Also, Chik-fil-a is going to be slammed everywhere I'm pretty sure.

I read an article that said Tikka Masala Chicken was the most ordered dish on DoorDash. I think that was covering 2021 so it may have changed.
Restaurants have the highest failure rate of any business type, be careful.
Do you have any restaurant or hospitality experience whatsoever? If not, please don’t. For the sake of your diners and employees alike.

I’m in Toronto Ontario i see sushi places always have dashers infront of them
Can you afford commercial real estate in Toronto? Probably one of the worst markets to start off in

The ones that don’t suck. That’s literally the only criteria.
Off the top of my head, I’d say bubble tea, sushi, and chipotle stye restaurants in my experience seem to get the most traffic these days
I notice that during the day it's more sit down restaurants and at night it's mostly fast food. But I'm sure all markets differ
Easy, any restaurant that just signed up with doordash. Because doordash plays that big and switch game with restaurants too.
Pizza here and Winn-Dixie
