Congrats to Doordash! The pandemic certainly helped accelerate this process, but I will add that within the bay-area, anecdotally, my first circle were all Dashpass subscribers for a while before 2020 too. Their partnerships with Chase, amongst others were smart, big moves.

I do want to link here a super insightful/funny article that calls out how Doordash acquires new restaurants( amongst other ways of course) , and the resulting loopholes.
