The popular food delivery apps Uber Eats, GrubHub, and DoorDash were all reportedly down for a period of time on Tuesday afternoon, frustrating workers and customers alike.
Service on the companies’ websites appeared to be restored after a brief outage, but some customers may have been charged for orders that did not go through.
Uber Eats, GrubHub, and DoorDash all do plenty of business daily: the average American reportedly spends in excess of $37 on food delivery each week.
That might explain why a number of people appeared to notice when the apps were inaccessible.
“Door dash, y’all gone pay us some money since y’all app went down in the middle of us getting orders?” one X user, Jeff, wrote.
Another user appeared in dire need of some delivery.
“Ayo, DoorDash going down is the scariest thing today,” another X user wrote. “I’m glad I wasn’t waiting on food because I’m not dealing with disappointment well on an empty stomach.”
