It's odd, in that I never really thought about Caviar as a competitor to DoorDash -- but that's because I know them mostly as the company that bought Zesty (just before Caviar itself was bought by Square). Zesty specializes in catered group meal delivery. The company I'm at now uses Zesty once a week; the company I was at before used them five days a week, and the company before that used a competitor (ZeroCater, I think) five days a week.

As far as I know, DoorDash wasn't in that space before; I wonder if that's part of the reason for the acquisition. (The alternative is that they may not be interested in that side of the business at all and shut it down.)
