DoorDash, Inc. DASH

Company Overview

DoorDash, Inc. is a technology company that operates a logistics platform connecting merchants, consumers, and independent contractors (“Dashers”) to facilitate local commerce. The company primarily operates in the on-demand food delivery, convenience, and last-mile logistics industries, enabling customers to order meals, groceries, and retail goods through its digital marketplace. Revenue is primarily generated through marketplace fees charged to merchants, service fees to consumers, and delivery fees, supplemented by advertising and subscription services.

Founded in 2013, DoorDash began as a food delivery startup focused on helping local restaurants reach nearby customers without their own delivery infrastructure. Over time, it expanded beyond restaurants into convenience stores, grocery, alcohol, and other retail categories, positioning itself as a broad local commerce enabler. The company has differentiated itself through scale, merchant penetration, and logistics optimization, becoming the largest food delivery platform in the United States by market share based on publicly reported order volume and gross order value.
