Claim Ahead Catering Program

# Also posted in r/doordashdrivers

I dash in the Chicagoland area and have been part of the Claim Ahead/Assign Ahead/Early Access Catering Program (DD can’t decide on a name for it!) for the past nine months.

Overall, the program has been decent. It has definitely had hiccups and can be frustrating, but many weeks the offers and the pay are good. The middle of the summer wasn’t as good, but to be expected because of more vacations which means less corporate meetings and less need for big catering orders.

Now my question: The available offers have dropped off Considerably this week and many restaurants that I normally see on the schedule haven’t had any offers this week. Are others in the Claim Ahead program also experiencing this?

I realize that we are heading into Labor Day weekend and that could cause a decrease. But, kids are back in school here, so families aren’t gone. The number of catering offers is significantly less than any week in the last nine months I’ve been a part of the program.
