DoorDash is leveraging its DashMart online convenience channel to support delivery of grocery and CPG items in 10-15 minutes.
The on-demand delivery platform is introducing ultrafast grocery delivery in New York City via its DashMart online convenience storefront. Introduced in August 2020, the DashMart banner offers both household essentials and local restaurant products for on-demand delivery. DashMart stores are owned, operated, and curated by DoorDash, and stocked with inventory from both national and local convenience, grocery and foodservice retailers.
To start, DoorDash will offer ultra-fast deliveries of an assortment of more than 2,000 products from a new DashMart location in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, with more locations and partners coming over the next few months.
Starting yesterday, customers within the delivery zone can visit the DoorDash app or website and place an order from DashMart for a delivery. Customers who have DashPass will see $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on their orders. The DashMart Chelsea location will be open from 7am to 2am daily.
DashCorps, a DoorDash company, will employ full-time courier employees who will work regular schedules, be actively managed, and use a new app designed specifically for their work, which includes job responsibilities beyond delivery. Roles will also come with such as hourly earnings and medical, dental, and vision insurance.
