Grow with DoorDash
Unlock the active DoorDash customer base by offering pickup and delivery on the DoorDash app, Marketplace. Plus, increase sales by tapping into DashPass subscribers, who spend and order more on average. Included in every partnership is Online Ordering: customizable and commission-free online ordering though your site, social media, and Google Search & Maps. Or use Drive On-Demand to offer delivery from your own app or site by tapping into DoorDash’s network of Dashers.
Attract new customers
Sponsored Listings give you prime real estate in the DoorDash app so you get noticed by new customers, and Promotions let you offer discounts, free delivery, or free or discounted items to new customers.
Increase order volume and size
Increase order volume and size (and, as a result, profits) with Promotions that provide customers with discounts or free items only when they reach a specific minimum order size. If you already offer beer, wine, liquor, or cocktails in-store, add alcohol to your DoorDash menu to help increase ticket sizes and reach customers looking to order both food and alcohol.
40,000 businesses in Canada are growing with DoorDash
