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's business model includes charging restaurants a commission and customers delivery and service fees, creating a three-sided marketplace. The goal is to be a leading player in the food delivery market by enhancing user experience and expanding services.

- The company's strong market presence and brand recognition make it a stable and attractive employer in the competitive gig economy.
- Strategic partnerships and promotions, like those with McDonald's and Cold Stone Creamery, provide employees with unique opportunities to work on high-visibility projects.
What critics are saying
