DoorDash has bought SevenRooms for $1.2bn, after acquiring Deliveroo

DoorDash said the move marks a significant expansion of its commerce platform capabilities, which will equip its merchants worldwide with new tools to grow in-store and delivery sales, build stronger customer relationships, and increase profitability.

SevenRooms will continue its mission to empower restaurants and hospitality operators to deliver exceptional guest experiences while gaining access to DoorDash's scale, resources, and global reach.

DoorDash was founded in 2013 and operates in over 30 countries, including the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

''With SevenRooms, we're excited to give local businesses around the globe new ways to bring more guests in the door, build and grow direct relationships with their customers, access best-in-class CRM, and drive profitability through smarter marketing," says Parisa Sadrzadeh, VP of strategy and operations at DoorDash.

''With an operator-first mentality at our core, we're excited to embark on this next chapter with DoorDash - delivering greater innovation, a direct channel to a network of millions of DoorDash consumers, more personalized guest relationships and elevated experiences that transform first-time diners into loyal regulars," says Joel Montaniel, co­ founder and CEO of SevenRooms.

Earlier this week, DoorDash secured a deal to acquire Deliveroo for £2.9bn.

DoorDash and Deliveroo are described as having 'complementary geographic operations,' with the latter successful in cities and large urban centres and the former demonstrating success across urban, suburban and rural areas.

Between them, the two companies will have a global presence in over 40 countries.

DoorDash said the acquisition of SevenRooms reflected its broader mission to empower local businesses and foster stronger connections between consumers and merchants.
