AI-powered delivery and merchant tools for restaurants to optimize delivery operations and reach more customers.

About DoorDash AI

DoorDash Merchant offers restaurants an AI-enhanced suite of tools to manage delivery operations, optimize menus for delivery performance, and reach millions of customers through the DoorDash platform. DoorDash's AI analyzes order data to provide merchants with Menu Optimization recommendations—identifying which menu items photograph well, package efficiently for delivery, and maintain quality in transit to maximize delivery satisfaction scores. The platform's Storefront product enables restaurants to run their own branded online ordering with AI-powered upsell recommendations that increase average order value. DoorDash's operational AI helps restaurants set dynamic delivery radius based on demand, predicted delivery times, and kitchen capacity, reducing unfulfillable orders during peak hours. DashAI, DoorDash's internal AI system, continuously optimizes the matching of delivery orders to Dashers based on proximity, restaurant prep time, and batch delivery opportunities to minimize delivery times across the network.
