About the Team The New Verticals team is redefining local commerce by expanding DoorDash beyond restaurants into Grocery, Convenience, Liquor, Retail, Flowers, and more. We build meaningful partnerships with standout local and regional merchants, helping them grow and meet customers where they are.
