- How DoorDash's Strategy Achieved Food Delivery Domination
As mentioned above in their mission statement, DoorDash is committed to tackling logistical problems and creating a simple, easy-to-use app that leaves their competition in the dust. To accomplish this goal and set itself apart, DoorDash knows that providing additional value to its partners is key to creating a strong brand. [...] For DoorDash, its first group, Users, are people who want convenience and high-quality food from the comfort of their homes — and are willing to pay for it. Their second audience is made up of Restaurants — and DoorDash often targets those that don’t have the means to deliver or don’t have adequate seating for dining-in. Clearly, DoorDash understands who will be most in-need (and, therefore, most receptive) to their services, which has helped them grow strategically. [...] It’s no secret that DoorDash is heavily invested in tackling logistical, engineering, and operational challenges via the use of cutting-edge technology. From their brand insight app to their consumer-facing app, DoorDash understands that simplicity matters. There is a great deal that goes into the creation and improvement of their apps, and it would be all too easy to overwhelm users with fun, new feature releases or a complicated interface.
