More like more trash...
$56B valuation at IPO?

Man... gtfoh lmao.
I understand the value proposition & the narrative they are selling.

I think Tony Xu is an excellent CEO who took incredible risks that ended up paying off in a very big way.

But $56B?

Come on, man. That's crazy.
ftr I worked at $GRUB for a few years, so I understand how $DASH operates better than most.

$DASH won. Period. End of story.

But this business? This last-mile food delivery logistics business?

It has always SUCKED.

And without corporate catering/ordering?

It's GARBAGE.
If you're betting on $DASH implementing drone delivery to lower labor costs, then I have to wonder won't the majority of the value accrue to the companies manufacturing the drones?

Couldn't the large restaurants just... cut out $DASH and manage their own fleet of drones?
Ask anyone in the industry how the food delivery business looks with:

* No corporate catering/group ordering because of WFA.

* No enterprise relationships because they go DTC w/ their own drones.

Then $DASH is reduced to SMB delivery. Good luck with that!
If you're bullish on food delivery, then I'd suggest taking a look at $DPZ $WING etc.

You want to look for businesses with:
* Vertical integration
* Franchise model
* The potential for very large orders (parties, events etc)
To recap:

$CMG, $38B Market Cap
$DPZ, $15B
$WING, $4B
...
$DASH, $59B

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Remind me what does $DASH do exactly?
What I wish regulators would focus on with these "independent contractor" biz model shenanigans is franchising rather than employment.

$UBER $DASH etc never claimed to be employing their drivers as W2's.

But they also never gave them the opportunity to scale their services.
$UBER & $DASH wanted the preferable economics of a franchise.

But they also didn't want to empower their drivers to become business owners.

They want to have their cake and eat it too.
As a driver/delivery person, the only real "opportunity" with these companies is indentured servitude.

High fixed costs with no way to scale up revenue.

After taxes, it amounts to the equivalent of a sub-minimum wage job.
