Depending on how bullish you are on the market it's either DoorDash or no one. Because DD is the frontrunner by a pretty solid margin but time will tell if the business ends up being sustainable med-term.


DoorDash operates only in the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. [1]

Uber Eats is almost everywhere (45 countries). [2]

Also there are some very big players outside of the US, e.g. Rappi in LATAM (Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, etc). [3]

DoorDash acquired Wolt late last year. [1]

With this they now also have quite a large presence in Europe.

Yeah, it’s very region-specific. Uber basically doesn’t exist in Southeast Asia. Here, Grab is king. A while back, Uber sold their SEA operations to Grab for a stake in Grab, and then I think they were trying to sell their stake to Alibaba.

Narrator: "it won't. As the whole American startup scene nowadays is based on the idea of losing unlimited investor money for years and decades with literally zero plans to change that"
