DoorDash is an on-demand food delivery platform that connects customers with local and national restaurants through a three-sided marketplace with customers, restaurants, and Dashers (delivery drivers). Customers browse menus, place orders, and receive meals via the app or website, while restaurants gain access to more customers. The service charges restaurants a commission on each order and applies delivery and service fees to customers, with Dashers earning base pay, tips, and bonuses. The goal is to expand its network and become a scalable, widely used solution for delivering meals efficiently.

Pallavi Mathur June 23, 2026 Zeus Street Greek has opened its 50th national restaurant at Sunshine Plaza on the Sunshine Coast, marking a major milestone for the Aussie-born, Greek-bred food brand. The opening kicks off a bigger national expansion plan, with Zeus Street Greek targeting more than 130 new restaurant openings across major Australian cities over the next four years, as well as new markets in South Australia and the Northern Territory. "Since we opened our first store in 2014, Zeus Street Greek has grown into a fan favourite for communities across Australia. Over the next four years, we are accelerating our expansion with plans to more than double the number of restaurants providing tasty, fresh, Greek-inspired food for everyday Australians," Zeus Street Greek Co-Founder Costa Anastasiadis said. "We are excited to bring our food to new markets in Adelaide and Darwin, creating new communities through delicious food and dining experiences." Adelaide and Darwin are both on the cards as the brand prepares to enter more communities with its Greek-inspired fast-casual menu. Around 20 new restaurants are planned to open each year for the next four years, with the expansion expected to increase customer reach by 28 per cent. The big Greek growth plan The brand's growth plans are also expected to create new opportunities for franchise partners. In 2027 alone, Zeus Street Greek expects to create hundreds of new jobs across Australia through its franchise model, giving local operators the chance to support their own communities through employment. Zeus Street Greek CEO Ramon Castillo said, "In 2027 alone, we expect to create hundreds of new jobs for Australians through this accelerated expansion. Through our franchisee model, we enable local people to support their own communities through employment opportunities. "From 50 stores to targeting more than 130 new restaurants in just four years is a major feat, however we know customers want elevated QSR experiences, that is still fast and convenient but prioritises fresh, flavourful ingredients. "This is a new era for the brand, and we are getting the community more involved than ever before to support this growth, through our national local heroes campaign." Zeus Street Greek says the expansion comes as customers continue looking for elevated QSR experiences that are still fast and convenient, but prioritise fresh and flavourful ingredients. A seat at the table To mark the 50-store milestone, Zeus Street Greek is launching its national Seat At Our Table campaign from July 6. The campaign invites customers to nominate a local hero, giving communities a chance to spotlight someone who represents philotimo, the Greek belief in generosity, community and welcoming people as family. As part of the campaign, Zeus Street Greek will also partner with DoorDash to launch a limited-edition Family Greek Feast, available exclusively on the DoorDash app from July 6. The offer is designed to make it easier for families and communities to celebrate together at home while the brand marks its 50-store milestone and next phase of national expansion. "This celebration is about embodying the Greek tradition of Philotimo - the belief in generosity, community and welcoming people as family, and that is why we are inviting the Sunshine Coast locals to pull up a chair at our Big Greek Table," Anastasiadis said. "A local hero is someone that lives philotimo. We want the community to nominate that person so we can give back to the heroes walking among us." Pallavi Mathur.

The significance of this partnership is hard to overstate. According to recent reports, grocery delivery services have surged in popularity, with more consumers relying on platforms like DoorDash for their shopping needs. With over 150,000 grocery and convenience stores available on DoorDash, this expanded partnership gives cardholders access to a wealth of shopping options. Chase cardholders will now receive two monthly promos of up to $10 off grocery orders, alongside a $5 monthly credit for restaurant orders, starting February 2025. For many cardholders, these new benefits could mean savings of up to $300 annually, depending on their spending habits. Not only does this partnership enhance the overall value of the Chase Sapphire cards, but it also sets a new standard in the credit card rewards landscape, as consumers increasingly seek ways to optimize their spending.

It's important to plan your grocery shopping accordingly to hit the minimum order requirements for these discounts. * Combine Offers: If you have multiple eligible Chase cards, consider how you can stack benefits to maximize savings across your shopping. For instance, use the Sapphire Reserve for grocery orders and the Sapphire Preferred for restaurant dining to take advantage of both discounts. Why now is the time to apply.
