  • DoorDash launches Zesty: an AI-powered social app for discovering restaurants in SF Bay Area and NYC
    December 16, 2025, 3:32 PM EST. DoorDash is expanding beyond delivery with Zesty, an AI-powered social app designed to help users quickly discover local restaurants. Available initially in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York, Zesty uses an AI chatbot to offer personalized recommendations and surfaces prompts like 'A low-key dinner in Williamsburg...' by aggregating data from DoorDash, Google Maps, and TikTok. The app also enables social features to save, share, and follow others' reviews and photos. According to DoorDash, Zesty learns user tastes to refine suggestions and aims to streamline discovery, while pilot testing informs future refinements. This marks another step in DoorDash's shift from delivery to broader local discovery and social engagement.
