food courier

Restaurant order carrier

A food courier is a person who picks up prepared meals from restaurants and delivers them to customers, typically working for app-based services like DoorDash or Uber Eats.

The term emphasizes the delivery role rather than any connection to the restaurant: Our food courier left the order at the wrong address.

Also called a delivery driver.
