DoorDash Corporate Office

DoorDash was founded in 2013 by Stanford University students Evan Moore, Andy Fang, Stanley Tang and Tony Xu. The company is an on-demand food delivery service.

This company is similar to other recent delivery service companies aimed at offering delivery from restaurants that do not provide it themselves. Originally founded in Palo Alto, the company recently moved into larger headquarters in San Francisco in late 2015.

DoorDash has been rumored to have raised hundreds of millions, possibly as much as 1 billion, from businesses such as Sequoia Capital and SV Angel. Originally offering service to only the greater San Francisco area, in less than 3 years time this company has already expanded to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston.

In-N-Out filed a lawsuit in late 2015 against DoorDash claiming unfair competition and trademark infringement.

The company announced in March 2018 that it was venturing into the grocery delivery service by partnering with Walmart in the Atlanta, Georgia, area.

Wingstop has partnered with DoorDash and says that the company will not be dealing with other delivery services.

DoorDash is also talking with Postmates about a possible merger to fend off competitors GrubHub and Uber.

In September 2022, WingStop eliminated its exclusive partnership with DoorDash and added UberEats to its available list of delivery services.

In August 2023, DoorDash announced that it would start using AI to take customer orders.

DoorDash maintains a corporate office in San Francisco, California.

History

Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill Corporate Office

Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill, originally called Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse, but most often simply called Charlie Brown’s, was founded in 1966 in Warren, New Jersey by three business associates who wanted a restaurant nice enough for business lunches, as well as dinner out with friends or family.

The company operates a chain of steak and seafood restaurants whose specialty dish is prime rib and a special house salad. The company has been sold several times over the years and currently belongs to Praesidian Capital, a private equity firm.

Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill filed for bankruptcy in 2010, forcing the company to close 47 locations. Today, the company has 16 locations in three states and is owned by Praesidian Capital, a private investment firm.

Restaurants are having difficulties with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, including Charlie Brown’s, which closed several restaurants early in the year in New Jersey.

The company maintains a corporate office in Millburn, New Jersey.
