 I. Executive Summary

DoorDash Inc. is an on-demand courier service founded in 2012 by Stanford students Andy Fang,
Stanley Tang, Tony Xu and Evan Moore. A Y Combinator-backed company, DoorDash is one of several
technology companies that uses logistics services to offer food delivery from restaurants on-demand.

II. Situational Analysis

In a society where the environment is so busy having 2 or more jobs so that the family can survive a
day, a week, a month or even a year. For those people who don’t have time to cook for their family members
but wanted to still show their love and affection in terms of food. For those who are elderly people that needs
to eat immediately so that they can take their medication.

a. Company Analysis

USA is a country of 325 million people with a firm economy. And most of the people has 2 to 3
works per person, so they don’t have that enough time to cook food or even go to any fast food chain and
order food for themselves. DoorDash is a technology company that connects people with the best in their
cities. We do this by empowering local businesses and in turn, generate new ways for people to earn, work
and live. We started by facilitating door-to-door delivery, but we see this as just the beginning of connecting
people with possibility — easier evenings, happier days, bigger savings accounts, wider nets and stronger
communities.
 b. Customer Analysis

The target market of our plan is all the people that don’t have any time or capability to cook. People
are known to be very fond in terms of food and very hard working persons and their day is always tiring. We
did not target only the working people actually we also wanted to help the elderly people so that they can eat
on time, they will just eat and wait for a short period of time.

We target all of the people, because we believe that all of us has a tummy to be filled with and all of
us wanted to have the food that can comfort us and fill our tummy.

b. Product Strategy

We need to give awareness to our consumers with the app and the website, because that’s our
primary product. So with this one we need to launch programs and also comercial shows. In order for us to
give awareness to the people, and we need to add promotions on our website so that we can build more
consumer loyalty. And we need to expand the product to the other parts of america, because I believe that we
can gain more profit if we will expand more.

c. Distribution Strategy
 DoorDash’s distribution channel in the United States are California, Canada, some parts of the east
and west coast. And we almost have a million stores at those states that is registered at DoorDash as a
restaurant that our consumers can buy using the website and also the app.

Social Media is the cheapest and most reliable platform for spreading awareness, boosting brand
image and reputation to the market. Social Media ads will be used as communication to our market. Social
Media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Linked, Pinterest and ChicoBag website will be
updated to show the target market who ChicoBag is and why it is here. These sites will contribute to raise
the awareness of other channels for the ordering at DoorDash. We will also use different visual presentations
to understand the market and attract them.
