DoorDash is a leading technology-driven logistics platform that enables restaurant-backed delivery in 60 US cities and Canada. Founded in 2013, the DoorDash platform connects customers to their favorite restaurants in their city so they can order their favorite meals and have them delivered to their doorstep.
At DoorDash, we are driven by a mission to power local economies and partner with restaurant businesses, both large and small. We leverage technology to facilitate the reliable and efficient delivery of millions of deliveries every day. Our technology platform, called the DoorDash Driver App, was built for our growing fleet of independent contractors and restaurant partners. Through the app, restaurant partners are able to manage a fleet of drivers and ensure orders are fulfilled in a timely manner. Drivers, in turn, can use the app to easily find, accept and deliver orders to customers.
We also built a consumer app to make ordering from their favorite restaurants easy and convenient. With the DoorDash consumer app, users can easily browse, order, and have their meals delivered in minutes. This consumer app is integrated with a suite of payment solutions, allowing customers to pay in numerous ways, including credit cards, digital wallets, cash, and gift cards.
At DoorDash, we strive to unlock new opportunities for our restaurant partners, consumers, and our driver network, while leading the way in technological innovation and high-quality customer experience. We are proud to be a leader in the industry, and our technology has made it possible to create personalized experiences for customers across all of our markets.
