For the first time, we’re showcasing what our data reveals about local commerce and how it has evolved over the past year: the performance of local businesses and how everyday people are adapting.
Read the reportNote on methodology: In order to offer the most up-to-date and comprehensive data, DoorDash re-baselines its indices quarterly. This means that values reported in this update may differ slightly from what had been reported in our prior report, due to our inclusion of additional merchants and items. This is standard practice and does not affect the overall trends.
