Restaurants were forced to adapt quickly when the novel coronavirus pandemic arrived. Having dozens of customers sitting feet from one another was no longer safe, and in many countries around the world, restaurants had no choice but to eliminate dine-in altogether until the spread of the virus was under control.
As a result, delivery and pickup have skyrocketed, as has the usage of apps and services like DoorDash. It has been almost two years since DoorDash gave merchants the option to allow customers to place an order online for carryout, and on Wednesday, the company announced that it will bolster the feature by giving customers the ability to opt-in to share their location so that merchants will know when they are getting close.
