Dash Forward 2025: Delivering The Future of Local Commerce

DoorDash is excited to unveil Dot, the first commercial autonomous robot specifically designed for local delivery. Autonomous delivery can help merchants reach even more consumers and get their orders fulfilled quickly, even during busy periods or late at night.
 
Here are some of the other highlights:  

Going Out: A new feature that integrates reservations, in-store rewards, and promotions directly in the DoorDash app—helping restaurants fill tables, build guest relationships, and promote events.
 
SmartScale: An innovative tool to improve order accuracy, cutting missing item claims by up to 30% and streamlining kitchen operations. Panera is already adopting this nationwide.
 
New Content Tools: Merchants can now highlight top dishes with engaging video content to attract more orders.
