Our mission is to grow and empower local economies. Our journey began on January 12, 2013, when our founders launched a website displaying menus from local restaurants in Palo Alto, California. Within a few hours, the first DoorDash consumer ordered prawn pad thai and spring rolls from a nearby Thai eatery, and shortly afterwards, dinner was delivered directly to his door.

Today, we connect over 390,000 merchants,³ over 18 million consumers,⁴ and over 1 million Dashers⁵ in the United States, Canada, and Australia through our local logistics platform. Our platform enables local brick-and-mortar businesses to thrive in today’s convenience economy by addressing consumers’ expectations of ease and immediacy. With over 900 million orders completed through our platform since our founding, merchants have made additional sales, consumers have connected with the best of their neighborhoods, and Dashers have found flexible economic opportunities. (Footnote guide: 3. Based on the number of individual stores that completed an order through our platform in the past month, measured as of Sept. 30, 2020; 4.
