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 enhance the food delivery experience for consumers, restaurants, and Dashers while expanding its market presence.

What believers are saying

  • DoorDash's continuous innovation, such as the introduction of alcohol delivery in new markets, opens up additional revenue opportunities.
  • 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

  • The highly competitive food delivery market requires constant innovation to maintain market share, posing a risk of falling behind.
  • Regulatory changes, such as those affecting gig economy workers' rights, could impact DoorDash's operational model and profitability.

  • The company's strategic expansion into alcohol delivery and international markets like Canada and Australia diversifies its revenue streams and reduces dependency on the U.S. market.
