About the Team

Drive On-Demand is a key component of this platform, providing white-label fulfillment solutions for merchants across verticals such as restaurants, grocers, and retailers.
As part of the Commerce Platform Logistics team, we own cost and quality for the Restaurant (Rx) business—ensuring that DoorDash Commerce Platform is the most reliable way for merchants to reach their customers through their first-party channels. This means improving fulfillment quality, reducing operating costs, and building scalable solutions to enhance customer and merchant experiences.
