About the company

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.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Growth isn't just bought: excluding acquired British app Deliveroo, orders rose 17% and revenue 24% in the June 2026 quarter.
  • It funds its own expansion: free cash flow more than doubled to $742 million in the June 2026 quarter.
  • Room to grow in robotics: DoorDash's robot and drone teams had over 70 job openings in October 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Uber is bulking up abroad: it agreed in July 2026 to buy German delivery group Delivery Hero for $14.8 billion.
  • Weak markets get cut: DoorDash quit Japan, Singapore, Qatar and Uzbekistan in February 2026, booking $50 million in restructuring costs.
  • Courier pay draws regulators: DoorDash agreed in September 2026 to a record $131.5 million NYC settlement over underpaid couriers.

What makes DoorDash unique

  • Office staff make deliveries too: under its WeDash program, everyone from engineers to executives takes courier shifts.
  • It runs its own stores: 124 of its October 2026 job openings are at DashMart, its delivery-only grocery shops.
  • It sells hospitality software too: SevenRooms, bought for $1.15 billion in 2025, runs reservations for restaurants, hotels and casinos.

Olo's 5% fee delivery app challenges DoorDash's commission model across 250+ restaurant brands

Olo has launched a consumer delivery app that gives diners access to more than 250 restaurant brands at standard menu prices. It charges diners a 5% network fee and takes no commission from restaurants, unlike DoorDash's marketplace model. The lower-fee approach could pressure DoorDash's unit economics. It gives price-sensitive customers a way to compare delivery markups and may pull restaurant orders away from high-fee platforms. DoorDash expects grocery and other new categories to turn gross profit positive in the second half of 2026. Analysts project $28.0 billion in revenue and $3.8 billion in earnings by 2029, up from $841.0 million in earnings today. The most bearish analysts forecast $27.4 billion in revenue and $2.9 billion in earnings.
