DoorDash is a leading on-demand delivery and local commerce platform founded in 2013 by Tony Xu, Andy Fang, Stanley Tang, and Evan Moore. It connects consumers with a wide range of local businesses including restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, and retailers, enabling fast delivery of food, groceries, alcohol, and household essentials via its app and website[1][3]. The company operates globally, serving over 40 countries through its own operations and subsidiaries like Deliveroo and Wolt, reaching around 50 million users monthly[3]. Key to DoorDash’s success is its sophisticated logistics technology and extensive network of independent delivery drivers known as Dashers. It holds a dominant 56% market share in the U.S. food delivery space and 60% in convenience delivery, making it the largest platform in these markets[3]. Beyond consumer delivery, DoorDash has diversified its business with innovative services such as DashPass (a subscription offering for loyal customers), DoorDash Drive (a white-label logistics solution for other businesses), DashMart (virtual convenience stores operated by DoorDash), and DoorDash for Work, which provides corporate meal plans and catering[2]. These expansions broaden DoorDash’s revenue streams, making it a critical logistics partner across industries and enhancing its sustainability and profitability prospects[2]. Recent significant milestones include the $3.9 billion acquisition of UK-based Deliveroo in 2025, substantially expanding its international footprint to 40 countries, and the $1.2 billion purchase of restaurant booking platform SevenRooms[3]. DoorDash also formed a strategic partnership with Ace Hardware to deliver home improvement products, illustrating its move beyond food delivery into broader local commerce[3]. Despite its growth, DoorDash has faced legal challenges concerning worker classification, tip transparency, and data privacy[3]. Nonetheless, it continues to innovate with autonomous delivery initiatives and grocery expansions with partners like Kroger, positioning itself at the forefront of technology-driven local commerce[5].
