DoorDash Launches $12 Meal Boxes in 20+ Cities to Win Budget-Conscious Diners

DoorDash is jumping into the restaurant value wars with a new $12 meal box available in over 20 cities, including Chicago and Atlanta. The deal bundles an entrée, side, and drink, and waives delivery fees to attract customers looking for affordable options. This move puts DoorDash in direct competition with fast-food chains and other delivery platforms that have been rolling out value meals to combat inflation-weary consumers. By offering a fixed price and no delivery fees, DoorDash aims to boost order frequency and loyalty among users who might otherwise cut back on food delivery. The promotion is part of a broader strategy to capture market share as dining habits shift toward convenience without breaking the bank. As value menus become table stakes, expect more delivery apps to follow suit with aggressive pricing and bundled deals.
