What it is
DoorDash is the largest food-delivery marketplace in the United States, connecting diners with local restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores. Its network effect is its moat: the most restaurants, the most drivers, the widest coverage.
DashPass, its subscription, waives delivery fees on eligible orders and is the main lever for regular users.
Why it ranks here
- Largest US restaurant selection of any delivery app
- Coverage in suburbs and smaller cities rivals don’t reach
- Grocery and convenience categories beyond restaurant food
- DashPass pays for itself quickly for weekly orderers
