Broad partnership includes DoorDash’s $300 million purchase of Grubhub Campus Dining and $125 million investment in Wonder’s Series D

SAN FRANCISCO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DoorDash, a global leader in local commerce, and Wonder, a leading food technology platform, today announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, DoorDash will acquire Wonder's Grubhub Campus Dining business. In addition, DoorDash made a long-term investment in Wonder as part of its Series D round.

Grubhub Campus Dining, formerly known as Tapingo, enables millions of students to order a meal from campus dining facilities and on-campus restaurants using its mobile app or kiosks, pay for the meal with the convenience of campus dining dollars and schedule the pickup. Grubhub Campus Dining is live at more than 450 colleges and universities, serving a significant portion of U.S. higher education students. Following the close of the transaction, DoorDash intends to continue expanding Grubhub Campus Dining in the U.S., enhance the selection and convenience available to students and bring Tapingo’s vertically integrated technology stack beyond college campuses to stadiums, hotels and other similar venues. The transaction is anticipated to close by the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review.

Additionally, DoorDash's $125 million investment adds to Wonder's $650 million Series D round announced in July, fueling Wonder's continued physical expansion and investments in technology, robotics and AI. Wonder offers more than 25 different in-house and chef-created concepts under one roof, using hardware and software to translate the craft of Michelin-starred chefs and iconic restaurants into a repeatable, machine-readable process—delivering exceptional food with consistency, quality and customization. With 157 locations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, Wonder's footprint has more than quadrupled since the start of 2025. Wonder will expand beyond the East Coast in 2027, opening its first Texas locations in January.

"Wonder was founded to make great food more accessible. To us, that means higher-quality food at lower prices, with more choice and convenience, in more communities," said Marc Lore, Founder and CEO of Wonder. "Our partnership with DoorDash lets us continue investing in the technology, robotics and infrastructure that mission requires. Grubhub Campus Dining is a thriving business built by a great team, and DoorDash is well positioned to take it further. The partnership also allows Wonder to focus on our long-term ambition: a fully autonomous food system that can plan, produce and deliver personalized meals at scale, serving all 21 meals people eat each week."

“Our mission at DoorDash is to grow and empower local economies,” said Tony Xu, Co-Founder and CEO of DoorDash. “Adding Grubhub Campus Dining to our platform will enable us to bring greater choice and convenience to college students while streamlining operations and reducing friction for universities. In addition, we’re pleased to be investing in Wonder as they continue to expand access to world-class food for communities across the nation.”

Latham & Watkins LLP and Fenwick & West LLP served as legal counsel and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Wonder. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati P.C. served as legal counsel and RBC Capital Markets served as a financial advisor to DoorDash.

Key Terms

series d financial

Series D is a late-stage venture capital funding round that typically represents a company’s fourth major sale of ownership shares to outside investors. It matters to investors because it signals a more mature business raising money to accelerate growth, expand into new markets, or prepare for an exit like an IPO or sale; think of it like a company taking on a large, strategic cash injection to scale up or tidy its finances before a big step, which affects valuation, ownership stakes and risk.

machine-readable technical

Data or documents formatted so computers can automatically read, search, sort, and analyze them without manual retyping. For investors this matters because machine-readable filings and disclosures let software quickly extract numbers and trends—like a spreadsheet-ready version of a report—making it easier to compare companies, track regulatory filings, and build automated monitoring or trading tools.
