DoorDash connects customers with local and national restaurants for on-demand food delivery, primarily in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The platform allows users to browse menus and place orders, which are delivered by drivers known as "Dashers." DoorDash earns revenue through commission fees from restaurants and delivery fees from customers, while Dashers are compensated with base pay and tips. The company's goal is to be a leading player in the food delivery market by enhancing user experience and expanding its services.
