The short answer
This charge is from Caviar, a premium food delivery service that is owned by DoorDash. The 'DD' in the descriptor stands for DoorDash.
What is Caviar?
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.
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.
To verify the charge, open either the Caviar app or the primary DoorDash application and check the Order History tab on your account profile. If you wish to cancel an active DashPass subscription linked to your orders, manage your membership settings directly in the app to halt subsequent renewals. If you confirm that neither you nor anyone in your home authorized the delivery, contact DoorDash customer support immediately and inform your card issuer to dispute the unauthorized charge.
