# DoorDash

## DoorDash

**Entity type:** Organization (food delivery / logistics aggregator).

DoorDash is cited alongside [[entity-expedia]] as an aggregator that captured demand and squeezed supplier (restaurant) economics — a template for how AI agents may reshape retail. It anchors the food-industry half of the [[concept-aggregator-economics]] parallel: aggregate inventory, build consumer scale, then extract commissions and control the consumer interface. Enrichment adds that food-delivery literature documents commission fees eroding restaurant margins and increased consumer price-switching — the same dynamics feared for A2A commerce.
