TL;DR
DoorDash enables restaurant delivery by managing its own logistics and partnering with merchants, using iPads at restaurants and driver onboarding software. It claims a 44-minute average delivery time in the suburb of Palo Alto, 30% weekly order growth, and $15M in annualized sales for restaurants.
Key insights
- Over 70% of the United States lives in areas where restaurants do not deliver, making the market underserved.
- Aggregator services like Seamless and Grubhub do not solve the problem because they only list menus without providing delivery.
- Courier services that pick up takeout orders are slower and more expensive because they lack merchant partnerships.
