DoorDash is scaling DashMart Fulfillment Services to address grocery inventory inaccuracy by operating warehouses, controlling inventory, and selling only items confirmed to be in stock. Since launching with several partners after the announcement in fall 2025, the service has generated incremental demand because warehouses operate nearly 24/7 versus traditional store hours. Management reported 10x better error rates when DoorDash manages inventory directly, improving order accuracy and expanding available selection. The company believes the warehouse network can serve multiple city needs and materially increase selection over time.
