DoorDash said Wednesday that it’s ending operations in Qatar, Singapore, Japan and Uzbekistan. The San Francisco-based delivery company said the decision comes after a monthslong review of country-specific conditions. DoorDash said it wants to focus its investments on places were it can build sustainable scale and long-term market leadership. DoorDash was a latecomer to some of the affected markets. The company began operations in Japan in 2021, for example, five years after its rival Uber Eats. It also faces stiff competition from regional rivals like Talabat in Qatar and GrabFood in Singapore.
