DoorDash should team up with Uber, Lyft et al. Or the other way around, Uber or Lyft could do what DoorDash does. On another note, home delivery has been in Japan for many years, but there, the density of population makes it feasible - someone at the restaurant just loads the trays of food onto a special spring-suspension tray holder on his bicycle and makes the delivery. After finishing the meal, the recipient leaves the trays, dishes, and bowls outside for pick up the next day. Usually, there is no extra charge, and tipping isn't common in Japan, so it's a good deal.
