DoorDash Rolls Out Zesty, An AI Social App For Discovering New Restaurants
DoorDash Zesty is a new AI-powered social app designed to help people find great local restaurants without endless scrolling, reviews, or TikTok searches. Launched in December 2025, the app is currently available in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York, signaling DoorDash’s ambitions beyond food delivery. Instead of juggling Google Maps, Yelp, and social media, users can now ask an AI chatbot for tailored dining recommendations in one place. The goal is simple: make restaurant discovery faster, more personal, and more fun. Zesty blends artificial intelligence with social features, allowing users to explore, save, and share restaurant finds.

The app also reflects a broader shift toward conversational search powered by AI.
