Empowering Local Communities: The Results of DoorDash’s 2022 Economic Impact Report

Gen Z Dashers – those ages 18 to 25 years old – recognize the value of earning on their own schedule, when and where they want.  As Gen Z continues to join the workforce, they are known to be determined in their pursuit of a job that works for them, often switching employers until they have found the right fit.

Gen Z Dashers Value the Flexibility and Reliability of Dashing on Their Own Schedule 

Dashing has always provided a reliable source of supplemental earnings for people no matter their financial goals or stage in life. Recently, more people are turning to secondary sources of income to make ends meet and improve their quality of life, especially as pay in some sectors has not kept up with inflation and uncertain economic conditions continue.

Six months ago, we announced that DoorDash would be facilitating the delivery of beer, wine, and spirits via the DoorDash Marketplace. Today, customers across 22 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and markets around the world can responsibly order alcohol through our platform. We recognize customers are seeking safe ways to order alcohol and appreciate that policymakers in a number of states have shifted regulations to enable alcohol takeout and delivery. By facilitating the delivery of beer, wine, and spirits, DoorDash can help merchants grow their business, enable customers to purchase alcohol safely from home, and provide Dashers with additional earning opportunities. We’re eager to show the impact this new service can have on our community.  

Alcohol Delivery Boosts Dasher Earnings and Provides New Revenue for Merchants

Our mission to empower local economies animates everything we do to support Dashers, merchants, and communities. Over the past several months, worker shortages have hindered businesses, and rising costs due to inflation have made it more difficult for many people and businesses to make ends meet. As economic conditions continue to pressure local communities, more people – the majority of whom have other obligations and sources of income – are choosing DoorDash to earn extra income, and more businesses are choosing to work with DoorDash to reach new customers and generate more revenue.
