DoorDash Unveils Reservations and Robot Deliveries in Major Expansion
30 Sep
Summary
- DoorDash adding restaurant reservations and autonomous robot deliveries
- Expanding to 2,700 Kroger stores for grocery delivery
- 80% of "Going Out" tab users visited new restaurants
As of October 1st, 2025, the delivery giant DoorDash is making major moves to expand its services and stay ahead of customer demand. The San Francisco-based company has announced plans to add restaurant reservations and autonomous robot deliveries in select U.S. markets.
DoorDash's total orders jumped 20% to 761 million in the second quarter of this year, and the company is now looking to bring even more business to the merchants it works with. The new "Going Out" tab will allow users to book tables at restaurants, starting first in New York and Miami before expanding to other cities later this year. DoorDash is also partnering with Kroger to offer delivery from the grocer's 2,700 U.S. stores.
To keep up with growing demand, DoorDash is turning to autonomous delivery robots. The company's new Dot robot can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour and travel on streets, sidewalks, and driveways. DoorDash co-founder Stanley Tang says the "shift to autonomy is happening right now" and the company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend.
