It’s earnings week and boy did few people forsee the barrage of news and reactions to DoorDash’s acquisition of SevenRooms and Deliveroo, followed by Wonder’s latest $600mm financing round at a whopping $7bn valuation. Along the way, Uber announced a majority investment in Turkish delivery player Trendyol Go. But what’s raising the most eyebrows is DoorDash’s expansion from off-premise food delivery to the world of on-premise reservations, POS, and CRM. Nearly two years ago, HNGRY broke the story about DoorDash’s foray into the world of point-of-sales systems. Today, SevenRooms’ “all-in-one CRM, marketing & operations platform” appears to be the missing link to round out $DASH’s forthcoming on-premise offering. The main question remains– how can a third-party delivery platform offer a value-added suite of omnichannel tools that truly benefit restaurants? This week, I hosted a live discussion with members of the WhatsApp community about this very topic.
