Your Groceries, Now Delivered

By Christopher Payne, Chief Operating Officer We’ve all been there: you’ve started to make dinner, when suddenly it hits you. You’re out of olive oil. Do you drop everything for a grocery store run? Luckily, that’s no longer necessary — now you can get your groceries delivered right to your door. As of today, we’ve teamed up with Walmart to power their online grocery delivery. Thanks to DoorDash Drive, our innovative fulfillment technology, Walmart now has the keys to DoorDash’s expansive fleet of Dashers. Kicking things off with deliveries in the Atlanta metro area, we’ll continue to expand our reach with Walmart across the U.S. so that everyone can experience the convenience of grocery delivery — whenever they need it. Whether you’re shopping for that missing ingredient or need a whole refrigerator’s worth of groceries, simply place your order online at Walmart.com/grocery or on the existing Walmart Grocery App, switch to the Delivery tab, and select a delivery window at checkout. After items have been hand-selected by Walmart’s personal shoppers, a Dasher will deliver your order to you during the delivery window you selected. It’s that easy. We’re excited to take the convenience you already know and love from DoorDash one step further with grocery delivery. So save a trip to the store and say goodbye to unloading all those bags of groceries from your car — and get ready for a time back to do something you love.

Eat Your Costume this #DashOWeen

We know a thing or two about delicious deliveries. We also know that food costumes are some of the most popular choices when dressing up each Halloween. To celebrate the epic mashup of food and costumes, we’re taking Halloween beyond a sweet treat this year. This Halloween, we’re launching “Eat Your Costume” to reward customers for dressing up as their favorite food item. That’s right, for every foodie costume posted from Friday, October 25 through October 31 at 11:59 pm PT, DoorDash will reward customers with $10 off that food item so you can continue to treat yo’ self in fashion. Here’s how it works: Take a pic of yourself (or anyone who’s willing — friends, significant others, babies, fur babies) dressed as a food item that is orderable on DoorDash (think hamburgers, avocado toast, sushi, hot dogs, french fries, bowl o’ pho, milkshakes, risotto, etc.) Follow @DoorDash on Instagram or Twitter Post your costume photo on Instagram or Twitter using #DashOWeen Wait for DoorDash to DM you $10 in DoorDash credit for the food you’re wearing Open DoorDash app, order food, and “Eat Your Costume!” Even spookier, one lucky winner will receive $1,000 in DoorDash credit AND a FREE year of DashPass, DoorDash’s monthly subscription service, to keep your treating going all year long!
