The Rise And Farce Of Third-Party Delivery Apps

DoorDash started a decade after its competitors, but now controls half of the food delivery market in the U.S. What can we learn from the very first order its founders delivered? And how did all these third-party platforms reshape the way we think of food delivery? Ruth and Patrick explore the origins of DoorDash and examine whether the "magic wand" it built for restaurateurs is working. Note: This episode has been updated to reflect DoorDash and Uber Eats' current policy regarding listing restaurants on their platforms. Read a transcript of this episode at dishcity.org.
