US-based food delivery company DoorDash has opened its new DoorDash Kitchens unit in San Jose, California.

According to a report by Restaurant Dive, the new location offers delivery, pickup and dine-in services from ten local and regional food vendors.

It will offer food items offered by various vendors such as Aria Korean Street Food, Ivan’s Chicken Shokudo, Koi Palace, Little Spoon, Nekter Juice Bar, Plentiful, Sweet Street and The Melt.

The San Jose DoorDash Kitchen will also feature offerings from Academic Coffee and, in the future, the San Francisco concept Souvla and Milk Bar.

According to Nation's Restaurant News, the new food hall's dine-in experience allows customers to place their order through the DoorDash app or in-house using the kiosks or QR codes and enjoy it onsite.

DoorDash new restaurant models head Ashlee Tran was quoted by Nation's Restaurant News as saying: “DoorDash Kitchens is looking forward to serving the San José community once again, after a warm welcome from residents during our limited-time pop-up almost two years ago.

“We’re eager to continue partnering with restaurants to help them grow their business in an innovative way while connecting customers with dining options they might not otherwise have been able to enjoy.”

The company opened its first DoorDash Kitchens unit in 2019. Alongside San Jose, the company also has virtual food halls in New York City, North Hollywood and Redwood City in California.

DoorDash opened the Brooklyn location in 2022, which also had seating arrangements for the guests.

DoorDash Kitchens benefits restaurant companies by allowing them to trial their concepts without opening a physical location.
