DoorDash CEO Tony Xu on new delivery meal solutions for workers
DoorDash on Wednesday said it is expanding its corporate delivery offerings as the coronavirus pandemic keeps many office buildings empty.
Its subscription program DashPass will include corporate members, giving employees unlimited free delivery and reduced service fees. Companies can also offer meal credits to their employees to expense meals deliverd by DoorDash or its subsidiary Caviar. Group ordering capability and employee gift cards are also part of the delivery company’s corporate business, now available to employees working remotely.
DoorDash said that more than 4,000 businesses have already signed on to the new program, including Zoom Video, Charles Schwab and Hulu.
Fear of spiking cases during the winter has pushed some companies to postpone their return to their office buildings until next spring. That’s bad news for DoorDash and its competitors. Corporate customers can account for a huge chunk of business, depending on the market and the third-delivery company.
For example, Grubhub told shareholders in May that the dramatic decline in corporate orders resulted in overall orders shrinking by double digits in the last two weeks of its first quarter, compared with the same time last year. In the previous quarter, its corporate business amounted to less than a tenth of its total sales. Grubhub reported $341 million in sales in the fourth quarter.
Overall, however, the pandemic has accelerated demand for DoorDash and its rivals. Dining room closures in the early months of lockdowns pushed many consumers to try the apps for the first time. Analytics platform Second Measure found that sales for meal delivery services grew 158% during August from a year earlier.

Tony xu , fang , tang and Moore are crooks, con artist,
They attack drivers with fake app issues, spy on your cameras, microphone, they just deleted 90 gb of screen recording of my dashes to prove this and just found out the 128 SD card was completely deleted. All that proof gone. They are lower than slug balls and maggot crap.
Lucky still have another 64 gb of recordings. Make no mistake they are crooked working work their crooked AI tech buddies and their crooked stock holders.
Stealing drivers tips to make sure the stock holders get paid. While attacking drivers with von games and fake app issues. The only thing they deserve is jail time and if his buddy Zuckerfuk is helping him. He deserves to be in jail to.
This is not a game, di not let your kids, friends, family work or order from these perverts spying on your phone, they are intelligent crooks, with intelligent crook friends, and financial backers. They are need to to be in jail.

$3 DoorDash orders are disgraceful Tony.

Why did the Dasher cross the road? To deliver to the other side.

I would order some foods in my office because I’m actually afraid to go in a public

yawn. ppl in the comment section are the reason a few ever succeed in life. you have been given the opportunity to create additional income without a tyrant boss and yet still find reason to complain how it’s not fair enough.
Ответить
Just another nerd who got lucky with zero understanding of business and quality work thinking 'he is a genius' but a miserable piece of s... who is going all distances to trim $0.5 of a delivery driver, cheating the customers, cheating the employees and going to bed believing 'he is a businessman'.

Hi Tony,
Why customers can't change or add tips? DD drivers are your workers for you not just a robot. Yes, pandemic is your chance to join delivery industry but what is your plan B? If your role for drivers will keep like this, no more future what you want.
Gotta be honest and give props where props is due. The new pay model is awesome.

This person is the worst ceo in delivery business. He steal tips and give big talk in the interview. Go to china and run this kind of slavery business there where u can ask worker to work under $2.
Ответить
Your customer service reps sucks
Ответить
Iv been dashing for a month now. I have been enjoying it for the most part but I honestly want to know why hell are you sending orders that pay $5 to drive 10 miles out of the way.
Ответить
He should be a politician he's so crooked and misleading
ОтветитьI'm a DOORDASH driver and I'm voting NO on prop22. Stop stealing and mistreating drivers Tony xu.
Ответить
You have to pay for wait time . You cant get away from your responsibility
Ответить
No on prop.22. These low ball $3 delivery trips are a scam and Door Dash base pay is garbage.
Ответить
I made the mistake of using Door dash the delivery fee was higher than the order.
Ответить
People are too lazy to cook or eat vegetables...LOL
ОтветитьNo on Prop 22 is probably the best option. Companies are trying to get away from responsibility by promoting an agenda.
Ответить
No on prop 22, California
