An office lunch can start with a message in Slack and turn into a string of follow-ups: choosing a restaurant, collecting everyone's order, and checking when the food will arrive. We want to make it easier for the person putting that meal together.Today, we're introducing a DoorDash connector for corporate ordering. Companies can connect DoorDash to compatible internal AI tools their teams already use, or to agents they build themselves, so employees can arrange deliveries as part of their workday.
