Customers across 20 states and the District of Columbia can now order wine, beer, or spirits through DoorDash for on-demand delivery or pickup from thousands of restaurants, grocery stores, and retailers. The service is also available in Canada and Australia, reaching over 100 million adults worldwide.
Customers in select markets, where legally permissible, can toggle to the Alcohol tab of the DoorDash app to browse and safely order from a wide selection of drinks from restaurants, grocery stores, local retailers, and convenience stores. This news follows a multi-year journey of fulfilling alcohol on-demand delivery for many national and local merchants via their own channels with DoorDash Drive, DoorDash’s white-label fulfillment service.
“Over the past year, many cities where we operate evolved their legislation in order to permit the delivery of alcohol to residents’ homes. Over that time, we worked tirelessly to build a trusted alcohol ordering and delivery experience for merchants, customers and Dashers,” said Caitlin Macnamara, Director, Alcohol Strategy & Operations at DoorDash. “We’re committed to providing new earning opportunities for merchants and Dashers, a safe, high quality experience for customers, and being a responsible leader in compliant alcohol delivery.”
On DoorDash, adding alcohol may increase restaurants’ and grocers’ average order values by up to 30% and convenience stores by over 50%. This is why DoorDash stands with restaurants in actively supporting legislation that enables restaurants to offer alcoholic beverages and thus expand their sales through delivery. DoorDash has worked closely with local governments to ensure that restaurant partners can add alcohol to their delivery menus and benefit from increased sales that it brings.
