Why Door Dash is Done Delivering for Walmart

After a four-year partnership, DoorDash is done delivering for Walmart.

But, don't cry for the online food ordering and delivery platform. In the second quarter, they delivered 426 million orders with gross sales of $12.8 billion. A 30% revenue growth was driven by more customers, more frequent orders, with a higher average order amount. The company still posted a net loss of $263 million, doubling last year's loss.?

• And in other recent news...DoorDash Drive is now?testing a service that where drivers to pick up and drop off Facebook Marketplace items to customers.?
• Last week, DoorDash was hit by a data breach linked to a large-scale phishing attack where hackers accessed customer information and partial payment data. Ouch!
• And, in honor of the kick-off of college football season, it was recently discovered that?the Rutger's University football team ordered over $450,000 of food in the past year.

It may be better to describe Door Dash as a marketplace for discovery and delivery (and advertising). As most brands don't choose to break up with Walmart it will be interesting to see how the Door Dash business grows in the future.??
