By GlobalDataIn February, DoorDash filed for an IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
It reported a surprise profit of $23m in the second quarter due to the increased demand for food delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company reported a net loss of $667m on revenues of $885m during its most recent full year of operations.
DoorDash recently received backlash from some restaurant groups, who said its commission rates are too exaggerated. The government officials in several cities came forward to cap on restaurant fees during the pandemic.
A lawsuit was filed against the company last year for misleading consumers through deceptive tipping practices.
Founded in 2013, DoorDash operates across all US states and Puerto Rico. It also expanded to Canada and Australia.
Its major rivals in the US food delivery markets include Uber Eats and Grubhub.
