DoorDash for Business has introduced two new services aimed at simplifying workplace meal planning.

The first service, Meal Manager, is tailored for employers that offer recurring, in-office meals.

The tool automatically builds a weekly schedule of meals, drawing from a curated list of nearby restaurants.

It is designed to reduce the time and effort required from workplace administrators while still allowing staff to select their preferred dishes.

The company added that it will manage logistics, including labelling and, when needed, on-site support.

The service is currently live in “select US markets”, with plans to expand in future.

DoorDash for Business general manager Katie Egan said: “There's something about a great meal that gets people off their screens and actually talking to each other.

“As companies double down on bringing people back together, food has become one of the most powerful drivers of connection in the office.

“We built Meal Manager and catering to make in-person connections happen as often as possible — without making it an admin's full-time job.”

The second service focuses on traditional tray-style catering for office meetings and corporate events.

It links office organisers with both local restaurants and larger chains, using menus structured for high-volume and group orders.

This service is currently accessible in San Francisco and New York, US, via the DoorDash app.

Last month, DoorDash and Alphabet-owned Wing launched drone-based food deliveries in the metro Atlanta area.
