DoorDash has announced an expansion of its partnership with Coco Robotics to introduce sidewalk robot deliveries for customers in Los Angeles and Chicago.

Building on a successful pilot with Wolt in Helsinki, this U.S. launch enables customers in the two cities to receive orders from nearly 600 merchants via Coco’s fleet of emissions-free sidewalk robots.

During the pilot phase, Coco completed over 100,000 deliveries. The new integration is part of DoorDash’s broader multi-modal delivery strategy, which includes Dashers, drones, and autonomous robots. According to Harrison Shih of DoorDash Labs, robot delivery complements the Dasher network and supports the company’s aim to lower costs and emissions while meeting growing demand.

Coco CEO Zach Rash emphasized the combination of Coco’s AI robocourier technology with DoorDash’s national reach as a key step toward modernizing urban delivery. Local merchants, such as Main Chick Hot Chicken, have already reported improved operational efficiency and customer satisfaction thanks to the robot delivery model.

DoorDash’s investment in autonomy also includes drone delivery partnerships like the one with Wing. The company aims to match each delivery with the most efficient fulfillment method, enhancing service for customers, merchants, and Dashers alike.

DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ: DASH) today announced that the company’s first quarter 2025 financial results will be released after the U.S. financial markets close on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

DoorDash Expands Retail and Alcohol Offerings, Becoming a One-Stop Shop for Local Needs

DSW’s integration brings nearly 500 stores into the DoorDash network, making it easier for consumers to shop for shoes and accessories on-demand.

The new ad tools include Banner ads, which appear in the first position post-checkout to boost brand visibility, and upgraded Sponsored Products capabilities, offering better targeting and performance monitoring. Early results show Banner ads deliver over 95% new-to-brand impressions, while Sponsored Products on DoubleDash achieve an 18% higher click-to-conversion rate than standard placements. Brands like Ben & Jerry’s, Red Bull, Pepsi, and Mondelēz have already seen success with these formats.

With access to more than 42 million monthly active users, DoorDash aims to give advertisers a powerful platform to drive incremental sales and reach new customers during the crucial post-checkout window.

These partnerships allow customers to order a variety of groceries, fresh produce, prepared meals, and specialty items for on-demand delivery.

Enabled in partnership with Forage, this collaboration allows SNAP recipients to order groceries, including fresh and frozen foods, pantry staples, and snacks, for delivery across 48 states. With 75% of the U.S. population living within five miles of a Dollar General store, the initiative aims to increase accessibility and convenience for SNAP users.

DoorDash reports that 2.4 million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT card to its platform, with a significant portion using the service due to mobility or health challenges that make in-person shopping difficult. To further support food access, DoorDash offers a discounted DashPass plan for SNAP recipients at $4.99 per month for one year, providing benefits such as free delivery on eligible orders.

The partnership reflects both companies' commitment to addressing food insecurity and ensuring that more people can conveniently access affordable, healthy groceries.
