Tony Xu(@t_xu):When I was growing up, my mom put food on the table by working three jobs a day for 12 years. One of those jobs was at a Chinese restaurant, where I moonlighted as a dishwasher. Watching her, I learned that for small businesses, there's no clocking out, no difference between weekdays and weekends, and no backup — just the next order, the next bill, the next challenge. Business owners are tough, but too many local businesses spend too much of their time fighting through permits and paperwork instead of serving their customers and building their passion project. DoorDash is committed to solving these problems, and that's why we built Unlocking Main Street.
