Start by framing DoorDash's core strengths and strategic goals, then identify a high-impact opportunity that leverages existing assets. Propose a specific product idea, justify it with user and business rationale, and outline a simple prioritization framework.
Pro tip: Show you understand DoorDash's three-sided marketplace (consumers, merchants, Dashers) and how a new product must create value for all sides. Also, consider regulatory and operational complexities in the delivery space.
Briefly restate DoorDash's mission to empower local economies and its current product portfolio (e.g., restaurants, grocery, convenience). Highlight key metrics like order volume, market share, and expansion areas.
Analyze gaps or emerging trends (e.g., ghost kitchens, sustainable delivery, B2B logistics) that align with DoorDash's strengths and customer needs. Choose one opportunity to focus on.
Describe the product in one sentence, its target users, and the core value proposition. Explain how it leverages DoorDash's existing logistics network, merchant relationships, or Dasher fleet.
Estimate potential impact using metrics like TAM, incremental revenue, retention, or cost savings. Address how it benefits consumers, merchants, and Dashers.
Use a prioritization framework (e.g., RICE, impact/effort) to compare your idea against alternatives. Acknowledge key risks (operational, regulatory, competitive) and propose mitigation strategies.
