In a press release, DoorDash said, “During the first round of DoorDash’s strong COVID-19 relief grants in 2020, 85% of restaurants said one of the biggest impacts on their business was the decline in sales due to COVID restrictions, and 82% reported sales losses that can be attributed to the declining economy. “
