TikToker tries Keith’s DoorDash hack
Keith is a popular TikTok influencer who has millions of followers. It is an easy way for restaurants to gain customers by using his name. A young man who posted a video under account name @jacksondean, experienced better service while using Keith's name from DoorDash. Though he admitted it didn't feel right. With so many followers on TikTok, it's an easy assumption that restaurants want Keith Lee in their corner. He also apologized, “Do not try this at home im sorry @keith_lee125 #@jacksondean."
'If you want to use my name, I don't mind!'
When Keith noticed the video of a young man and the buzzing comments going viral on TikTok, he put out a video where he experimented with two orders with different names. He ordered one food with his name and another delivery with the name “Alias”.
When he received the order, he found notable differences between the food ordered under his name and Alias. He gave 7.5/10 for the food ordered under his name, and 7/10 for the other order. So it is clear that the hack works and it is undeniable. He also added in his video, "If you want to use my name, I don't mind!"
