On a Tuesday, DoorDash made headlines by announcing two big purchases.

The first was Deliveroo, a food delivery service based in Britain.  This deal is worth a whopping 3. 8 billion dollars.  With this purchase, DoorDash is now operating in countries that were previously served by Deliveroo.  Deliveroo had partnered with about 176, 000 local businesses.  These businesses included restaurants, retail shops, and grocery markets.  Deliveroo had about 7 million active users each month across nine countries.  Now, DoorDash will add these users to its existing 500, 000-plus partners and more than 42 million monthly active users, spread across more than 30 countries.

The second purchase was SevenRooms, a software company based in New York.  DoorDash did not reveal how much it spent on this deal.  SevenRooms specializes in helping merchants boost in-store sales and strengthen customer relationships.  It does this by using its customer relationship management and guest experience tools.  These tools will now be integrated into the DoorDash Commerce Platform.  SevenRooms will continue its mission to help restaurants and hospitality operators deliver exceptional guest experiences.  It will also gain access to DoorDash's scale, resources, and global reach.

So, what does this mean for the future of food delivery?  Well, DoorDash is clearly expanding its reach and capabilities.  By acquiring Deliveroo, it's entering new markets and adding more users to its platform.  By acquiring SevenRooms, it's enhancing its technology and improving its services for merchants.  This could lead to more competition in the food delivery industry.  It could also lead to better experiences for customers.  Only time will tell how these purchases will affect the industry.

But one thing is for sure: DoorDash is not afraid to make big moves.  And with these two purchases, it's showing that it's serious about growing its business.
