What is Caviar?
Unreviewed registry note: A line item on your card statement reading DD *CAVIAR indicates a restaurant order or delivery fee from Caviar (DoorDash), an upscale food ordering platform operated by DoorDash, Inc. Originally founded as an independent courier service for premier dining spots, Caviar was acquired by DoorDash, which merged the payment processing systems. If your card statement shows DD *CAVIAR or TRYCAVIAR, the transaction cleared through DoorDash corporate payment gateways.
Unreviewed registry note: Most cardholders see this charge after placing an order for takeout or courier delivery through the TryCaviar app or website. Because Caviar and DoorDash share customer databases and driver networks, your saved payment methods and active DashPass memberships apply interchangeably between both platforms. Charges can also stem from an auto-renewing DashPass subscription fee billed at $9.99 per month, or a food delivery placed by a family member with access to your account.
