DoorDash Reservations Scored America’s Most Exclusive Restaurants

DoorDash, after acquiring hospitality tech company SevenRooms, has aggressively entered the restaurant reservation market, securing exclusive table access at some of America's most elite restaurants like The Eighty-Six in Manhattan. The company is now competing with Resy and OpenTable across 13 major US cities, leveraging scarce dining access to build a loyalty-based ecosystem amid a broader cultural phenomenon of reservation mania and anti-scalping legislation.
