Introducing Smarter, More Personalized Ways to Explore Your Neighborhood With DoorDash

At DoorDash, we’re always working on ways to help people do less of the busywork and more of what they actually want. That might mean ordering dinner the whole family agrees on, grocery shopping with the help of AI to complete your cart or perfect a recipe, or finding a new local spot that hits just right.

Today, we’re introducing new features — from local creator videos to AI-powered discovery — that make exploring your city easier, more personal, and more fun.

Discover local favorites with videos from creators in the DoorDash app

Short-form videos from local creators are now live in the DoorDash app — so consumers can preview dishes before they order, from preparation style to portion size. This helpful content from food lovers helps you explore local favorites in cities like Atlanta, Austin, Miami and San Francisco, with more rolling out through the end of the year.

Get personalized recommendations with the help of AI

With AI-curated picks based on past orders, cravings, and dietary needs, consumers will now see food recommendations tailored to their tastes – from fish tacos and falafel bowls to bagel sandwiches and more. The app learns what you love, and brings more of it to you with helpful suggestions.

And before checkout, "Complement your Cart" suggests personalized additions to your grocery cart – making it easier to find relevant add-ons, round out your recipes, and complete your shopping list quickly. Because nachos without cheese are just chips.

Smarter discovery, powered by AI

New AI-powered smart tags help surface exactly what you’re looking for — like vegetarian or high-protein dishes. These helpful tags appear on a restaurant’s menu so you can easily filter to find the dish that best fits your needs. These labels are now available to consumers across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Find exactly what you’re looking for — fast

Last year, we redesigned how you search and shop for alcohol on DoorDash – letting you browse all nearby stores, compare prices, and get delivery estimates in one place. Now, that smarter search is available across all retail categories nationwide, including beauty, electronics, pet supplies, and more.

Whether you’re in a last-minute rush or looking for something specific, you can now search across local stores to quickly see what’s available, compare prices, and check delivery times — all in one spot.
