I go pick up any orders I want and in general it helps with most of the foods as they can be eaten mostly as intended. There aren't many foods that sit for half an hour and do well.

So my question is, should I just gift the DoorDash "card" to someone who does use it or jump in and use it. I'd rather give my business to the food providers rather than the service provider as the pickup I would have control over (vs. the wait for them that often does not go well) and the food providers would get a bigger take which I suspect would be preferred). Opinions?
You can still order via Door Dash but select pick up rather than delivery. Not that I am advocating for this as I would always prefer that the money goes directly to the provider, but it is an option if the boss wants everyone to use it.
