About the company

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.

Costco reports Q4 on 24 Sept with 21.5% digital growth before DoorDash deal kicks in

Costco reports fiscal fourth-quarter results on 24 September, but its new same-day delivery partnership with DoorDash will not affect the numbers. The deal went live after the quarter closed in late August or early September. Costco's digital business was already performing strongly without DoorDash. Third-quarter digital comparable sales rose 21.5%, whilst e-commerce traffic surged 37%. Management noted same-day delivery attracts the company's highest-spending members. The partnership is seen as a defensive move against Walmart+ and Amazon Prime, which both bundle same-day delivery with membership programmes. Costco has opted for partnership over building its own last-mile delivery infrastructure. Membership remains central to Costco's earnings quality, with 82.9 million paid members and a worldwide renewal rate of 89.7%. Trading at 45 times earnings, the stock dropped nearly 4% after its previous quarterly report despite beating expectations.

DoorDash to acquire Wonder's Grubhub Campus Dining business, invest $125M in company.

DoorDash to acquire Wonder's Grubhub Campus Dining business, invest $125M in company. Sep 16 2026 DoorDash, and Wonder announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, DoorDash will acquire Wonder's Grubhub Campus Dining business. In addition, DoorDash made a long-term investment in Wonder as part of its Series D round. Grubhub Campus Dining, formerly known as Tapingo, enables millions of students to order a meal from campus dining facilities and on-campus restaurants using its mobile app or kiosks, pay for the meal with the convenience of campus dining dollars and schedule the pickup. Grubhub Campus Dining is live at more than 450 colleges and universities, serving a significant portion of U.S. higher education students. Following the close of the transaction, DoorDash intends to continue expanding Grubhub Campus Dining in the U.S., enhance the selection and convenience available to students and bring Tapingo's vertically integrated technology stack beyond college campuses to stadiums, hotels and other similar venues. The transaction is anticipated to close by the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review. Additionally, DoorDash's $125 million investment adds to Wonder's $650 million Series D round announced in July, fueling Wonder's continued physical expansion and investments in technology, robotics and AI. Wonder offers more than 25 different in-house and chef-created concepts under one roof, using hardware and software to translate the craft of Michelin-starred chefs and iconic restaurants into a repeatable, machine-readable process. With 157 locations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, Wonder's footprint has more than quadrupled since the start of 2025. Wonder will expand beyond the East Coast in 2027, opening its first Texas locations in January. "Wonder was founded to make great food more accessible. To us, that means higher-quality food at lower prices, with more choice and convenience, in more communities," Marc Lore, founder and CEO of Wonder, said in a statement. "Our partnership with DoorDash lets us continue investing in the technology, robotics and infrastructure that mission requires. Grubhub Campus Dining is a thriving business built by a great team, and DoorDash is well positioned to take it further. The partnership also allows Wonder to focus on our long-term ambition: a fully autonomous food system that can plan, produce and deliver personalized meals at scale, serving all 21 meals people eat each week." "Our mission at DoorDash is to grow and empower local economies," added Tony Xu, cofounder and CEO of DoorDash. "Adding Grubhub Campus Dining to our platform will enable us to bring greater choice and convenience to college students while streamlining operations and reducing friction for universities. In addition, we're pleased to be investing in Wonder as they continue to expand access to world-class food for communities across the nation." Latham & Watkins LLP and Fenwick & West LLP served as legal counsel and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Wonder. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati P.C. served as legal counsel and RBC Capital Markets served as a financial advisor to DoorDash.
