DoorDash launches “Going Out,” enriching dining experiences with reservations, rewards for DashPass members

GLOBAL – DoorDash has introduced a new feature called “Going Out” on its app and platform, offering DashPass members access to restaurant reservations, in-store rewards, and exclusive offers for dine-in guests, according to a press release on September 30.

This feature is designed to make dining out more rewarding for consumers while unlocking new opportunities for restaurants to attract diners, fill tables, and build lasting guest relationships.

The “Going Out” feature gathers reservations, in-store rewards, and exclusive offers into one convenient place.

Diners can discover local favorites or explore new spots, book tables directly through the DoorDash app, and earn credits toward future orders.

DashPass members receive additional benefits such as exclusive tables, extra rewards, and discounted rides through partnerships like Lyft.

DoorDash’s integration of SevenRooms, the hospitality management platform it acquired earlier this year for over US$1 billion, powers the reservation booking capability.

The feature initially launches in Miami and New York, with plans to expand to more cities later this year.

Parisa Sadrzadeh, DoorDash’s Vice President of In-Store, highlighted that “Going Out” saves consumers time and money while making dining reservations easier than ever.

She stated that the feature makes DoorDash a go-to companion for exploring and enjoying local dining experiences.

Eugene Remm, Partner at Catch Hospitality Group, noted that partnering with DoorDash allows more guests to enjoy their restaurants.

He emphasized that with SevenRooms, the process from booking to dining is seamless and unforgettable, ensuring guests receive exceptional experiences.

By combining delivery, reservations, and dining rewards, DoorDash’s “Going Out” evolution transforms the app into an all-encompassing dining platform.

It supports restaurants by increasing foot traffic and customer loyalty, while enhancing the overall dining experience for users.

Beyond dining, DoorDash has rapidly evolved into a global multi-product platform, expanding its reach to over 30 countries.

It continues to innovate with autonomous delivery, grocery and convenience store expansions, and personalized shopping experiences.

DoorDash’s mission centers on empowering local economies by creating opportunities for merchants, consumers, and delivery partners, making local commerce stronger and more rewarding.

The company’s acquisition of landmark platforms like SevenRooms and Deliveroo further fuels its ambition to reshape local commerce landscapes worldwide, integrating delivery, in-store services, and technology-driven customer engagement.
