The storefront service will be commission-free through the end of the year, with the only cost to the merchants being payment processing fees, DoorDash said.

While he added that it will be easy to develop suburban-type services in Sendai, he did not discuss expansion plans in other Japanese cities.
Meanwhile, DoorDash Co-founder and CEO Tony Xu noted that their strategy is to empower local economies, especially the underserved suburban markets with a high appetite for connectivity between merchants and customers.
DoorDash has benefited from the pandemic-induced boom in food delivery and has since expanded its market share to 56 percent of US food-delivery sales as of April.
