DoorDash

DoorDash's US lead isn't close: with roughly 56% of the domestic food delivery market, it stays well ahead of Uber Eats in order volume, backed by a large and growing network of restaurant partners. Tony Xu founded the company in Palo Alto, California in 2013, took it public in December 2020, and shares surged on day one to push its market value past $70 billion. Since then, the company has built its DashPass subscription into a genuine retention engine that keeps customers ordering more often than they would on a rival app. The international push into Canada, Australia, Japan, and Germany accelerated through 2025, but the US dominance is still what defines the company.
