Concentration in food delivery: "If everything goes as the owner of Deliveroo wishes, the delivery person will only ring once"

DoorDash has announced its acquisition of Instacart for $17 billion, aiming to enhance delivery efficiency and improve wages for its drivers. This move comes after DoorDash faced criticism for underpaying its delivery workers and was required to pay over $131 million in back wages and fines. The merger is expected to benefit small businesses by providing them with competitive advantages against larger retailers like Walmart and Amazon. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani commented on DoorDash's financial turnaround, highlighting the irony of their recent funding struggles.
