DoorDash’s grocery business continued to gain traction in the second quarter, with the company citing strong growth in its grocery and retail marketplace alongside improving profitability as it reported a 36% increase in revenue.
Although DoorDash’s restaurant business remains its largest segment, executives highlighted grocery as one of the company’s fastest-growing categories.
According to DoorDash, approximately 75% of all U.S. grocery and retail orders during the quarter came from DashPass members.
The company also said those subscribers are placing grocery orders more often and building larger baskets than nonmembers.
Beyond consumer-facing technology, DoorDash said it continues to expand services for merchants, including digital ordering and software tools intended to help retailers manage both online and in-store operations.
