General presentation of Doordash

Buy Doordash shares

The Doordash Company is an American group that is specialised in software on demand. It acts as an intermediary between merchants and potential buyers that wish to purchase items from local companies through a delivery service. At present the company is specialised in the delivery of food and meals.

The business model implemented by DoorDash was created for users and restaurant owners. Users of this service can find a restaurant and order their meal online and the restaurants can access a new online client market. DoorDash has rapidly become one of the leaders in its activity sector in the United States, notably as it has successfully raised significant funds from investors and also in the way it has successfully implemented strategic partnerships with numerous chains of popular restaurants in the large American towns and cities.

The three main targets of the DoorDash economic model are as follows:

  • The final users, or the end clients, are of course the main targets of the DoorDash Company. These could be individuals or companies.
  • The restaurants are also a major target, notably those that do not offer their own home delivery service or wish to widen their range of clientele.
  • Finally, the company also targets ‘dashers’, these are the people that want to work as food and meal delivery drivers working flexible hours.

The major competitors of Doordash

Takeaway

This Dutch group is also specialised in the online ordering home delivery fast food sector. This service is offered to final clients through a website that lists various restaurants and their menus and enables users to order their meal or food online or through an application to be delivered directly to their homes. This company is present in various European towns and cities as well as the United States. It in fact proceeded with the acquisition of a number of international competitors including Just Eat and GrubHub. It is also quoted on the Euronext Amsterdam stock market, in section A to be precise and is also included in the composition of the AEX stock market index and the Next 150. It should be remembered that this company acts as an intermediary between users and restaurants and offers, like DoorDash, an online portal accessible through the internet or an application for users to order their meals and food. The delivery drivers of Takeway are called ‘Scoobers’. Over recent years this company has been operating at a loss.

Uber Eats

Another major competitor of DoorDash is of course the giant Uber Eats, a subsidiary of the Uber Group which launched this fast food home delivery service in 2015. This group is based in California in the United States. Here again, users’ orders are passed to the restaurant partners through a mobile application or the company’s website and the orders are then delivered by independent delivery drivers. From a geographical point of view Uber Eats actually operates worldwide with markets including North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia and some cities in Africa. Its operation is based on the use of a digital e-commerce platform that offers the delivery of meals and food ordered from partner restaurants. These restaurants are chosen via a platform that is operated by Uber Eats. The delivery cost is paid by the final client depending on the delivery distance and the platform is paid a commission of 30% on the invoice generated by the partner restaurant. Regarding the independent delivery drivers that deliver the meals and food to the final clients, they are paid according to the route and distance covered.


The major partners of Doordash

Meijer and Freshtime

In 2020 the DoorDash Group established strategic partnerships with the Meijer and Freshtime companies. This partnership contract thereby enabled the group to deliver grocery products to its clients in Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Detroit and Indianapolis. Also, the group had previously implemented other partnerships of this type such as with the Smart & Final Company in California in the same year with the aim of delivering grocery products to clients in Sacramento, in the San Francisco Bay area, the central coast area and Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. In total, with this new partnership, these account for over 10,000 products available for delivery to clients from participating grocery shops in less than an hour without pre-ordering or lengthy waits.

Tim Hortons

Still in 2020, the DoorDash Group implemented a strategic partnership with the Tim Hortons Company. More precisely, this is the second partnership initiated with this company and it concerns nearly 500 establishments. The DoorDash platform enabled its clients to order doughnuts, sandwiches and other food products from Tim Hortons cafes which are then delivered directly to their homes. This partnership was in fact the launching pad for a large advertising campaign that also offered the clients the opportunity to receive TimbitsMD products free of charge until the expiry of stocks. For several weeks clients ordering at least $12 of food from Tim Hortons through the DoorDash platform or application would also receive an assortment of 10 mini TimBitsMD free of charge with no delivery fee using a promotional code provided for this event. This partnership that was uniquely implemented in Canada enabled its clients in this country to take part in this free delivery promotion for several months.
