Deliveroo Qatar has officially become part of DoorDash, following the successful completion of the acquisition, a statement said yesterday in Doha. In an open letter, DoorDash co-founder and CEO, Tony Xu, marks “the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of an old one”, stating that “the Deliveroo app and products you know and love aren’t going anywhere”.
The letter goes on to say that “by combining DoorDash’s global scale and technology, we have the opportunity to serve more people, in more places, with greater impact.” To Deliveroo’s 7mn active customers, Xu speaks of the company’s intentions to make the user experience “even faster, smarter, and more delightful”.
To Deliveroo’s network of approximately 178,000 merchants on its platform, Xu shares the company’s ambitions to introduce more tools to help businesses “thrive both online and offline.” To Deliveroo’s network of 130,000 riders, Xu says they will commit supporting and protecting riders to make delivering easier, safer, and more secure.”
Wolt co-founder Miki Kuusi will become the new CEO of Deliveroo, in addition to his existing role as head of international at DoorDash.
