Nov 30 (Reuters) - Food delivery service DoorDash Inc (DASH.N) said on Wednesday it was cutting about 1,250 jobs in a bid to reduce costs in the face of a global economic slowdown. The company joins a list of multinational American firms that have laid off employees in recent weeks due to rising operating costs amid decades-high inflation. "We were not as rigorous as we should have been in managing our team growth ... That's on me. As a result, operating expenses grew quickly," said Chief Executive Tony Xu in a message to employees posted on the company's website.

CNN —DoorDash on Wednesday said it will lay off about 1,250 corporate employees after growing its team too quickly during the pandemic, making it the latest tech company to cut staff in recent weeks. Like other tech companies, DoorDash experienced a pandemic boom as more consumers embraced online deliveries and shied away from stores and restaurants amid the health crisis. In his memo, Xu nodded to the shifting economic climate. “We too are not immune to the external challenges and growth has tapered vs our pandemic growth rates,” he wrote. Shares of DoorDash are down more than 60% so far this year.

NEW YORK, Nov 30 (Reuters Breakingviews) - DoorDash (DASH.N) is taking the same route as its technological peers. Top-line growth, which has been the main course at DoorDash and elsewhere, will be relegated to a side dish. Costs also ballooned, however, and DoorDash accumulated a $3.2 billion deficit from operating losses as of Sept. 30. DoorDash has outpaced rival Uber Technologies (UBER.N), growing its U.S. market share to roughly 60%, per consumer data analyst Bloomberg Second Measure. The strong position should help Xu tweak the menu and serve up what investors are ordering.

DoorDash opened the first DashMart in 2020, and the convenience stores have grown to 25 locations in cities in the US and Canada. "DoorDash is going to strangle Instacart using their own system," the grocery and supply-chain consultant Brittain Ladd told Insider.
