DoorDash to Exit Qatar, Singapore, Japan and Uzbekistan After Multimonth Review

The pullback concentrates investment on markets where the company says it can achieve sustainable scale for long‑term leadership.

Overview

  • DoorDash will wind down Deliveroo and Wolt operations in the four countries, with Deliveroo’s last day in Singapore on March 4.
  • The company says the exits will not materially affect its outlook and it left guidance issued on February 18 unchanged.
  • DoorDash is making limited operational changes, including investing in certain engineering roles in the United Kingdom.
  • News reports cite local workforce effects, including about 85 Deliveroo roles and the closure of a Bengaluru engineering hub affecting roughly 100 employees.
  • In Singapore, food and beverage outlets plan to shift to Grab and Foodpanda, while riders worry fewer platforms could reduce competition.
