What does pick up only mean on DoorDash?

DoorDash Pickup allows customers to pick up their own orders when it is more convenient for them. When you place an order through DoorDash and choose “pickup,” a Dasher does not show up to pick up your order. Instead, you pick up your order at the restaurant, avoiding delivery fees and wait times.
