About the Company

DoorDash

Runs apps for local food and grocery delivery

DoorDash runs apps that let people order restaurant meals, groceries, and other goods from local businesses, which independent couriers called Dashers bring to their doors. In 2019 it overtook Grubhub to become the largest food delivery service in the United States, and it later expanded abroad by buying Finland's Wolt and Britain's Deliveroo. Merchants pay DoorDash a fee on each order and can buy ads in its apps, while customers pay delivery and service fees or join DashPass, a subscription that cuts those fees. Businesses can also hire Dashers through its Drive service to carry orders placed on their own websites. Four Stanford students founded DoorDash in 2013, and it is based in San Francisco, California.
