Food Delivery
DoorDash
DoorDash is the largest food delivery marketplace in the U.S., connecting customers with restaurants and convenience stores for on-demand delivery.
What is DoorDash?
Is DoorDash down? DoorDash is a food delivery and on-demand logistics platform founded in 2013 by Tony Xu, Stanley Tang, Andy Fang, and Evan Moore. It operates in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Germany, connecting customers with local restaurants and grocery stores through a gig economy workforce of independent delivery contractors called Dashers. DoorDash captured over 65% of the US food delivery market by 2024, making it the dominant player in a category that includes Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Instacart for grocery.
DoorDash's scale is significant: the platform handles millions of deliveries daily, supports hundreds of thousands of merchant partners, and employs a fleet of Dashers across every major US metropolitan area. DashPass, DoorDash's subscription programme offering reduced delivery fees and exclusive benefits, has attracted tens of millions of subscribers. The platform expanded beyond restaurant delivery into grocery (DashMart), convenience, alcohol, and pet supplies. DoorDash went public on the NYSE in December 2020 in one of the largest tech IPOs of that year.
DoorDash outages disrupt three separate user groups simultaneously: customers who cannot place orders, restaurant partners who cannot receive or manage incoming orders, and Dashers who cannot accept delivery opportunities. Common symptoms include the app failing to load restaurants or menus, checkout errors preventing order placement, real-time order tracking going stale, or Dasher apps failing to receive new delivery pings. Busy meal periods — Friday and Saturday evenings, major sporting events, and holidays — are when DoorDash infrastructure faces its greatest load.
If DoorDash is down, Outage.gg tracks DoorDash server status and outage history in real time. If DoorDash is down or orders are not going through, visit the live status page for community reports and subscribe for an instant notification when service is restored.
