DoorDash has rolled out a range of new features for its DoorDash for Business platform, aimed at improving the management of employee meal programmes.

With many companies moving towards a return to office model, the need for adaptable meal solutions catering to multiple locations has become increasingly important.

The latest updates are intended to simplify administrative tasks for HR, finance and operations teams while enhancing the overall experience for employees.

New functionalities include real-time data insights, dedicated support for businesses and on-site coordination, and improved expense management with integrated controls.

The platform also offers flexible expense codes, allowing administrators to automate the syncing of expense code lists for accurate billing.

Enhancements such as integrated single sign-on (SSO) and cross-domain identity management (SCIM) aim to improve security in user authentication, streamline management and lessen administrative workload.

These developments build on the existing offerings of DoorDash for Business, which include meal credits, group ordering options and DashPass memberships for both administrators and employees.

DoorDash Business general manager Katie Egan stated: “We understand the evolving needs of today’s workplaces and the complexities enterprises face in managing employee food programmes.

“Our new offerings are a direct response to businesses seeking efficient, flexible and employee-centric meal solutions.

“We’re giving businesses the tools, like our Insights Dashboard and on-site support, to save valuable time and empower them to invest in their teams, boosting engagement and productivity.”

DoorDash had previously launched a new suite of tools within its commerce platform, aimed at supporting restaurants in increasing direct sales.

This platform expansion also helps improve customer engagement across their own channels, such as applications, websites and in-store interactions.
